    This document provides an overview of Booth's algorithm for signed multiplication. Booth's algorithm preserves the sign of the result for signed multiplication, which is important because signed numbers use two's complement form. It describes two key methods - right shift circulant and right shift arithmetic - and outlines the step-by-step process of Booth's algorithm, which involves analyzing bits, adding or subtracting the Y operand, and right shifting values in each step until the multiplication is complete. Examples are provided to demonstrate how Booth's algorithm works for both positive and negative number multiplication.

    Booth`s Algorithm Tutorial (Tim Berger)

    Signed multiplication is a careIul process. With unsigned multiplication there is no need


    to take the sign oI the number into consideration. However in signed multiplication the
    same process cannot be applied because the signed number is in a 2`s compliment Iorm
    which would yield an incorrect result iI multiplied in a similar Iashion to unsigned
    multiplication. That`s where Booth`s algorithm comes in. Booth`s algorithm preserves
    the sign oI the result.

    Methods Used
    There are 2 methods that you should know beIore attempting Booth`s algorithm. Right-
    shiIt circulant and right-shiIt arithmetic.

    Right-shift circulant, or RSC Ior short, is simply shiIting the bit, in a binary string, to
    the right 1 bit position and take the last bit in the string and append it to the beginning oI
    the string.
    Example:
    10110
    aIter right-shiIt circulant now equals 01011

    Right-shift arithmetic, or RSA Ior short, is where you add 2 binary number together
    and shiIt the result to the right 1 bit position
    Example:
    0100
    0110
    result 1010

    Now shiIt all bits right and put the Iirst bit oI the result at the beginning oI the new
    string:
    result 1010
    shiIt 11010

    The Process
    Step 1: Convert the two operands into binary. Then determine which operand has the
    least transitions between bits and set X equal to that operand and Y equal to the other
    operand.
    Example:
    13 1101
    10 1010
    1101 has less bit transitions so set X 1101 and set Y1010

    Note: It`s a good idea to calculate Y as well because you will most likely be
    subtracting Y Irom the value in U which is the same as add Y to the value in U

    -Y 0110


    Step 2: Set up 4 columns as Iollows:
    1
    st
    column is U. This column holds the results Irom each step in the algorithm
    2
    nd
    column is V. This column hold the overIlow Irom U when right-shiIting
    3
    rd
    column is X. This holds X operand. This will show each RSC step.
    4
    th
    column is X-1. This holds the least signiIicant bit Irom X beIore RSC.
    Initially set this to 0.

    Example Setup:
    X1101
    Y1010
    U V X X-1
    0000 0000 1101 0

    Step 3: Analyze the least signiIicant bit oI X and the bit in X-1. From that string take
    the Iollowing action:
    II the string '01 Add Y to the value in U and right-shiIt the result
    II the string '10 Subtract Y Irom the value in U and right-shiIt the result
    II the string '00 Take no action
    II the string '11Right-shiIt the value in U 1 bit position

    Example:
    String '10 so subtract Y(or add Y) Irom the value in U
    U V X X-1
    0000 0000 1101 0
    0110 0000
    0011 0000

    Step 4: RSC X . Go to step 3 and repeat the process until the X has been RSC to its
    original position

    Example:
    String '10 so subtract Y(or add Y) Irom the value in U
    U V X X-1
    0000 0000 1101 0
    0110 0000
    0011 0000 1110 1


    An Example:
    X0100 4
    Y0110 6
    -Y1010 -6




    U V X X-1
    0000 0000 0100 0
    0000 0000 0010 0
    0000 0000 0001 0
    1010 0000
    1010 0000
    1101 0000 1000 1
    0110 0000
    0011 0000
    0001 1000 0100 0

    Take U and V together and you get 00011000 which is 24
    4 x 6 24 so the answer is correct.


    Another Example:
    This time with a signed number.
    X0100 4
    Y1010 -6
    -Y0110 6

    U V X X-1
    0000 0000 0100 0
    0000 0000 0010 0
    0000 0000 0001 0
    0110 0000
    0110 0000
    0011 0000 1000 1
    1010 0000
    1101 0000
    1110 1000 0100 0

    Take U and V together and you get 11101000 which is -24
    4 x -6 -24 so the answer is correct.
