Hi, I'm pretty new to all of this but I am trying to come up with a good 8 bit multiplier possibly for use inside of an ALU. I have a working model but I'm not sure it's very efficient?
I've only just started to mess around with this stuff using some software called "Logic Gate Simulator". All it does is cross compare the 8 bits against each other and if there's a match feeds it in to a series of ripple adders to collate the results in to an answer (those little boxes are Full Adders). Is this a good way to do it?
