To Do: Multiplication Using Adders - mbits-mirafra/digitalDesignCourse GitHub Wiki
-
Multiplication using adders is a technique for performing multiplication operations using only adder circuits. This technique is also known as the "adder-based multiplication" or "shift-and-add multiplication" method.
-
The basic idea behind this technique is to decompose the multiplication into a series of additions and shifts. First, we convert the two operands into binary format and then perform a series of partial products. We shift one operand to the left by one bit in each iteration and add it to the accumulated result.

This method is useful when we have limited hardware resources or when we need to perform multiplication in a very efficient way. However, it requires a larger number of adders than other multiplication algorithms, and its performance may degrade for large operands.
