Overow in Addition

Overow occurs when the result of the operation does not t in the representation being used For example, if 4-bit unsigned numbers 6 = and 12 = are added the sum (18) overows since its binary equivalent does not t in 4 bits Overow is detected for unsigned addition when the carry out of the nal Full Adder is 1 For 2s complement representation of signed numbers overow occurs when the carry into the MSB (most signicant bit), which is also the sign bit, is different from the carry out of that bit. The carry out of the MSB bit representation always represents the sign bit of the sign-extended of the sum

Traditional CLA Adder (Contd.)

Disadvantage: For a 16-bit adder, for example, we cannot go on generating the s in this manner, since the hardware becomess execssive and messy A 16-bit adder can be partitioned into groups of 4 4-bit CLA adders, with the inter-group carries rippling through the four groups:

X 1512 Y1512 4 4bit CLA C 16 = S 16 4 S 1512 C 12 4 4

Such a 16-bit adder has a delay of 12 gate delays (= 24ns for a gate delayof = 32 gate delays (= = 64ns) in 2ns) as opposed to a delay of a 16-bit RCA In general for an -bit group-CLA adder with 4-bit CLA cells, the delay gate delays as opposed to gate delays for the ripple-carry adder is

A note of caution: -input gates have greater delays than 2-input gates for . We had assumed that for a 4-bit CLA the 5-input OR and AND gates have the same delay as a 2-input gate. The delay of a 5-input gate will be greater because:

Let be the max. of the switching on and the switching off time of a MOS transistor, i.e., the max. of the time for charge to collect at the channel or the time for the charge to be removed from the channel Let be the resistance of a channel, and the input gate capacitance of a transistor Then, a 2-i/p AND/OR gate has a delay of
@ 9 A B 9  A 5

a 5-i/p gate has a delay of


9  A 4 @ B

while a 5-i/p AND/OR ckt. formed of cascaded 2-i/p gates will have a delay of
9 2 A C @ B

Thus, while a 5-i/p AND/OR gate will be slower than a 2-i/p AND/OR gate, it will be faster than a cascaded implementation of a 5-i/p AND/OR ckt. The latter is primarily because more transistors switch on in parallel in a 5-i/p AND/OR gate than in a 5-i/p AND/OR ckt.

In a 4-bit CLA adder, we are essentally replacing a series of 2-i/p cascaded (multi-level) logic by a multiple-input 2-level logic Note that the delay of an -bit group-CLA adder with 4-bit cells will be somewhat more than 2-i/p gate delays.

COMPUTER ARITHMETIC SUBTRACTION

Subtraction can be done using an adder, since This means that , which we assume is in 2s complement notation, has to be negated. A 2s complement number is negated by complementing it and adding a 1, i.e., The augmentation to an adder to perform subtraction is shown below:

The same effect as shifting the multiplicand left ( ) can be achieved by keeping the multiplicand xed at the left-most position and shifting the partial product right. Example:

A&S 2s complement multiplication (contd.) :

Method 2: When the multiplier is +ve perform taking care to do the following when each is shifted right: 1. When there is no overow in the addition (recall the condition for overow for 2s complement addition), an arithmetic right shift of register AC.Q is performed without shifting in into the MSB of AC 2. Arithmetic right shift: MSB is sign-extended, i.e., if the MSB (sign bit) is 1 a 1 is shifted into the MSB of AC, otherwise a 0 is shifted in 3. If there is an overow, then as in the unsigned case, shift into MSB of AC when shifting AC.Q right. This works because in this case the bit output of the adder, where is the MSB, is the exact 2s complement representation of the sum. Check this by sign extending the inputs to bits and compute the sumthe output will be the same as for the -bit inputs, but without overow out of the th bit

Speeding Up Serial Multiplication Booths Algorithm Idea: Consider the following substring of
gkj gi gh h h h h gh g g g o mj o i m lm gh h h h n h g g g g g g gh g g n g I x  ! o x x w w  g n g g g g g w

Thus instead of adding and shifting 4 times (corresponding to the string of 4 1s in 011110), we can subtract ( ) when we see the 1st 1 coming after a 0 in , i.e., we detect the 2-bit substring 10 in the last 2 bits of the current , just shift 4 times and then add ( ) when we see that the current string of 1s in have ended, i.e., we detect the 2-bit substring 01 in the last 2 bits of the current . This saves us two adds Thus when the multiplier contains long (greater than length 2) strings of 1s, Booths multiplication is faster

Booths multiplication also takes care of a negative multiplier automatically. Consider the following :
j p q r i g j gi h h h h gh g g g g g g g g g g g 

Since the multiplication algorithm contains steps ( in the above example), the 1000000 is ignored and we end up subtracting times the multiplicandexactly the right answer!

Note: (1) For unsigned multiplication, we need to pad the multiplier with mythical 0s on both sides (right of LSB padding required to start off the process) (2) For 2s complement multiplication, we need to pad the multiplier with a mythical 0 only to the right of its LSB. This works because (for 2s complement, the last run of 1s is 11. . . 1, where the leftmost 1 is the sign bit (bit ) and suppose the rightmost 1 is the th bit from left, then the value of this sequence is , which is exactly the value we alloted to this sequence when we subtracted at the th bit position at the

Booths Algorithm (contd.)

Problem: When the multiplier contains long strings (say, of length ) of alternating 1s and 0s ( ), then we perform additions and subtractions using Booths algorithm compared to only additions using regular add-and-shift Solution: Look at 3 consecutive bits of the multiplier instead of 2 to decide what to do. This is called the Modied Booths Algorithm (MBA) This will enable us to treat isolated 1s and 0s differently from runs of 1s and 0s.

When we see a

and this isolated 0 is not following an isolated 1, then we subtract corresponding to the isolated 0. This is correct, since in BA we would on detecting 01 and then subtracted on detecting 10. have added This is equivalent to adding again, we are doing the RHS in MBA

Modied Booths Algorithm (contd.)


w

After detecting an isolated 1 (010), it should be noted as such so that after shifting right, we dont misinterpret the bit pattern as ending a run of 1s. For example, consider two bit patterns showing the 4 consecutive bits of
! z y { ! x ! z y { ! !

The 1st has an isolated 1 and the 2nd a run of 1s. For the 1st case we have added corresponding to the 1, and in the second case, we do not do anything as we are in the middle of a run of 1s (as in BA) After a right shift, we have the patterns

which are identical. In the rst case, we need to have noted that the 1 corresponds to an isolated 1, so that we do not do anything. In the second case, this means end of a run of 1s, and so we need to add (as in BA). These cases are distinguished by setting a latch to be 0 when an isolated 1 is spotted, and to 1 if a run of 1s is spotted Thus actually the least signicant of the 3 bits that we observe should be and not the previous bit of . Except when distinguishing between an
| w | x

38

isolated 1 (0) and the end of a run of 1s (0s) will be the same as the previously observed bit of . Thus after a right shift, the above 3-bit patterns will be
 w z   y | {   | ! |

Modied Booths Algorithm (contd.)

Similarly, we need to distinguish between an isolated 0 and the end of a run of 0s. In the former case, is set to 1 and to 0 in the latter case Again, consider two bit patterns showing 4 consecutive bits of
| ! ! ! z y { ! !

The 1st has an isolated 0 in its 2nd bit for which we subtracted and the 2nd pattern has a 0 in its 2nd bit that ends a run of 0s. Thus after a right shift, the above 3-bit patterns will not be identical, but will be
 ! ! ! z  y | { ! !   |  

In the rst case, we correctly do nothing (we already subtracted corresponding to the isolated 0) corresponding to the middle bit and in the second we subtract , since the middle bit begins a run of 1s which has not yet been accounted for.
