Arithmetic Block



Overview

The arithmetic block independently performs 8-bit two's complement addition and subtraction on the values contained in the A and B operand registers and can place the result on the output bus. When combined with a self-shifting B operand register and a self-shifting output register, the block is capable of performing 8-bit unsigned multiplication with 16-bit output.

In addition to the numerical result, the block produces carry-out and overflow bits for addition and subtraction operations. It is not possible for the final result of an unsigned multiplication operation to have a carry-out or overflow.
