Abstract
In recent years, Multiply-Accumulate (MAC) unit is developing for various high performance applications. MAC unit is a fundamental block in the computing devices, especially Digital Signal Processor (DSP). MAC unit performs multiplication and accumulation process. Basic MAC unit consists of multiplier, adder, and accumulator. In the existing MAC unit model, multiplier is designed using modified Radix-2 booth multiplier. In this paper, MAC unit model is designed by incorporating the various multipliers such as Array Multiplier, Ripple Carry Array Multiplier with Row Bypassing Technique, Wallace Tree Multiplier and DADDA Multiplier in the multiplier module and the performance of MAC unit models is analyzed in terms of area, delay and power. The performance analysis of MAC unit models is done by designing the models in Verilog HDL. Then, MAC unit models are simulated and synthesized in Xilinx ISE 13.2 for Virtex-6 family 40nm technology.
