  • Patent number: 4899300
    Abstract: A circuit which performs a linear transformation on a digital signal. A linear transformation is defined by a graph whose nodes represent operations of addition or subtraction and the branches operations of multiplication by a determined coefficient. According to the invention, the circuit comprises a multiplier for each branch, this multiplier being wired according to the value of the determined coefficient of said branch, and an adder for each node, each adder being wired according to the nature of the operation, addition or subtraction, associated with said node.

  • Patent number: 4853887
    Abstract: Binary adder having a fixed operand and a parallel-serial binary multiplier incorporating such an adder. The multiplier comprises a dedicated adder, whose elements (transistors, logic gates, etc.) are wired to incorporate the value of the fixed operand B. The non-fixed operand D is applied in serial form to the control input of a multiplexer. The multiplier also comprises an accumulator-shift register for storing a partial result A of the multiplication. As a function of the state of the multiplexer, the register receives A or A+B.
