Specifications

There are two multipliers per variable precision DSP block. You can configure these two multipliers in
several operational modes:
• One 27 x 27 multiplier
• Two 18 (signed)/(unsigned) x 19 (signed) multipliers
• Three 9 x 9 multipliers

Operational Mode Descriptions on page 3-11
Provides more information about the operational modes of the multipliers.
Adder
You can use the adder in various sizes, depending on the operational mode:
• One 64-bit adder with the 64-bit accumulator
• Two 18 x 19 modes—the adder is divided into two 37-bit adders to produce the full 37-bit result of each
independent 18 x 19 multiplication
• Three 9 x 9 modes—you can use the adder as three 18-bit adders to produce three 9 x 9 multiplication
results independently
Accumulator and Chainout Adder
The Cyclone V variable precision DSP block supports a 64-bit accumulator and a 64-bit adder.
The following signals can dynamically control the function of the accumulator:
•
NEGATE
•
LOADCONST
•
ACCUMULATE
The accumulator supports double accumulation by enabling the 64-bit double accumulation registers located
between the output register bank and the accumulator.
The double accumulation registers are set statically in the programming file.
The accumulator and chainout adder features are not supported in two independent 18 x 19 modes and
three independent 9 x 9 modes.
