A low complexity and a low latency bit parallel systolic multiplier over GF(2/sup m/) using an optimal normal basis of type II
Soonhak Kwon · 2004
Using the self duality of an optimal normal basis (ONB) of type II, we present a bit parallel systolic multiplier over GF(2/sup m/), which has a low hardware complexity and a low latency. We show that our multiplier has a latency m+1 and the basic cell of our circuit design needs 5 latches (flip-flops). On the other hand, most of other multipliers of the same type have latency 3m and the basic cell of each multiplier needs 7 latches. Comparing the gates areas in each basic cell, we find that the hardware complexity of our multiplier is 25 percent reduced from the multipliers with 7 latches.
