A7 A6 A5 A4 A3 A2 A1 A0 (8 bits) × B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0 (8 bits) --------------------------- A×B0 (shifted 0) → 8 bits A×B1 (shifted 1) → 9 bits (with overflow) A×B2 (shifted 2) → 10 bits ... A×B7 (shifted 7) → 15 bits --------------------------- Sum of all → 16-bit product The challenge: summing all partial products efficiently. The simplest approach — rely on modern synthesis tools to infer a multiplier. Run with: iverilog -o multiplier_tb multiplier
