i just want to know how to deal with the cin singal of the first 4:2 compressor, set it to zero?
another question: when the consecutive high bit position (j+1) is a CSA,how to deal with the cout singal of the current bit position(j)'s 4:2 compressor, just discards it?
you can ground the first cin signal or use just a full adder since not all 4 bits are present. the last cout pin can be discarded as it does not change any significant bits in the product.
if i use a [4-2] counter at 12th bit position, the cout signal will be discarded. I think it isn't right . I think i must use a [4-2] counter with 3 inputs at 13th bit position absorbing the 12th cout singal. Is it right??
I have finished this project. Thanks for your help!
You know, i think i use the right method. When use the [4-2] counter, you must absorbing the last bit position's cout signal.
