We describe a micropower 16 16-bit multiplier (18.8 W/MHz @1.1 V) for low-voltage power-critical low speed ( 5 MHz) applications including hearing aids. We achieve the micropower operation by substantially reducing (by 62% and 79% compared to conventional 16 16-bit and 32 32-bit designs respectiv...
