What is the general rule for combining smaller hardware multipliers to create a larger multiplier?
FPGAs have DSP blocks that are hard multipliers. These have a fixed upper size for operands e.g 9 bit each or 18 bit each e.t.c. The actual size depends on the vendor and FPGA family.
Now I know that ...
