2.2.3. Multipliers for Floating-point Arithmetic

A single-variable precision DSP block can perform many multiplications in parallel, depending on the data width of the multiplier and implementation.

You can configure these two multipliers in several operational modes:
  • One floating-point arithmetic single-precision multiplier
  • Two floating-point arithmetic half-precision multiplier
