Abstract

Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) units are essential parts of digital systems, particularly in embedded systems, digital signal processing (DSP), and image processing. The performance of these systems is significantly impacted by how well the multiplication process works. The design and construction of a fast 16-bit MAC unit utilizing Vedic mathematics are presented in this study.The proposed design utilizes the Urdhva Tiryagbhyam sutra to perform multiplication in a parallel manner, reducing delay and improving computational speed. Verilog HDL is used to describe and implement the entire architecture, guaranteeing a scalable and modular design appropriate for synthesis in contemporary VLSI systems. Simulation is used to verify the design’s functionality by testing different input combinations to confirm accuracy and performance under various operating situations. Throughput is increased by the multiplier’s integration with a 16-bit accumulator, which enables effective processing of sequential operations without the need for additional storage components. An 8-bit Vedic multiplier is integrated with a 16-bit accumulator to perform continuous multiply–accumulate operations. The design is implemented using Verilog HDL, and it is verified by simulation. The suggested architecture delivers enhanced speed, decreased propagation latency, and optimal power usage when compared to traditional MAC architecture. The design’s effectiveness and simplicity make it appropriate for contemporary real-time applications VLSI systems.

Keywords: MAC Unit, Vedic Mathematics, Urdhva Tiryagbhyam, Verilog HDL, DSP, Carry Save Adder.
