In this study, we propose a radix-16 booth multiplier using a novel weighted 2-stage booth algorithm. Most conventional multipliers utilize radix-4 booth encoding because a higher radix increases encoder complexity. To resolve this problem, we propose the weighted 2-stage booth algorithm. The synthesis results show that the multiplier using the proposed algorithm achieves better power-delay products than those achieved by conventional booth multipliers. We believe that the proposed boothalgorithm can be broadly utilized in general processors as well as digital signal processors, mobile application processors, and various arithmetic units that use booth encoding.
