Abstract

A digital data multiplier, particularly useful in floating point processing systems, wherein a first digital word representing a first value is multiplied by successive groups of bits of a second digital word representing a second value to form successive partial products which are combined to form successive partial sums, the final sum of all such combined partial sums producing a digital word representing the final product of the first and second values.
