How long takes a 16bit multiplication on FPGA?

[Helmut_K]

Hello,

if i try to multiply two for example 16bit numbers, how long will it take?

Are there some hardware multipliers on the FPGA to calculate it within 1 tick? Otherwise the multiplier have to be implemented on the FPGA and I suppose it will not be possible within 1 tick...

Best regards,

Helmut

On LV-FPGA targets like cRIO-backplanes or 78xx boards there are hardware multipliers implemented. Please refer to this document for further information. As you have stated correctly these mulipliers need 1 tick for execution.
