multiplier block Definition

A feature of supported device (Arria^® series, Cyclone^® IV, and Stratix^® series) families that efficiently implements signed or unsigned multiply functions. Each multiplier block can implement up to eight 9 x 9 multipliers, six 12 x 12 multipliers, four 18 x 18 multipliers, or two 36 x 36 multipliers. Inputs and outputs to the multiplier block may be independently registered.
