The embedded multiplier is configured as either one 18 x 18 multiplier or two 9 x 9 multipliers. For
multiplications greater than 18 x 18, the Quartus
®
II software cascades multiple embedded multiplier
blocks together. There are no restrictions on the data width of the multiplier but the greater the data
width, the slower the multiplication process.
