Chapter 4: Embedded Multipliers in Cyclone IV Devices

Altera Corporation
lists the number of embedded multipliers and the multiplier modes that can
be implemented in each Cyclone IV device.
In addition to the embedded multipliers in Cyclone IV devices, you can implement
soft multipliers by using the M9K memory blocks as look-up tables (LUTs). The LUTs
contain partial results from the multiplication of input data with coefficients that
implement variable depth and width high-performance soft multipliers for low-cost,
high-volume DSP applications. The availability of soft multipliers increases the
number of available multipliers in the device.

Each embedded multiplier consists of the following elements:
■
Multiplier stage
■
Input and output registers
■
Input and output interfaces
