High-speed binary to binary-coded-decimal converters for decimal multiplications

Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed high-speed binary to binary-coded-decimal (BCD) converters for decimal multiplications. By employing new recoding methods, our proposed converters can perform high-speed conversions from binary numbers to decimal outputs. Synthesis results show that our proposed converters can achieve over 66% delay and 0.8% area reduction compared with previous proposed method, respectively. Our proposed converters can be applied to decimal multiplications to boost the performance.
