How many clock cycle latency for 32 bit Integer Multiplication in Altera Stratix V?

Hi  

 

Since I am developing a hardware in verilog for high frequency application using Altera Stratix FPGA, and involves 32 bit integer multiplication. The application that I am designing needs the result of the multiplication in one clock cycle. 

 

 

Question: Will I get the resultant product in one clock cycle? 

I referred the Stratix V handbook and it says that a DSP module can handle  

: One 27*27 multiplication 

: Two 18*18 multiplication 

: Three 9*9 multiplication 

So from the above information, two 2 DSP blocks are required for parallel multiplication and subsequent summing up. But can this be done in a clock cycle  

in Stratix V(Assuming that I am working at 100 - 200 MHz internal clock) 

 

 

Thanks in advance

Stratix V has support for one independent 32x32 multiplication using 2 cascaded DSP blocks (internally routed). Should be able to achieve 200MHz easily for one clock cycle operation.

Why not write some proof of concept code and run it through timequest?

Hi Tricky, 

Thanks for the quick reply. We dont have a quartus tool to check through timequest yet. Quartus Evaluation version wont support Stratix V. We have just given order for buying the same.  

Thanks again
