I found that in the Synthesis option if I Ignore Carry Chain Buffers and select implementation to be in ROM/RAM then EAB gets used irrespective of if EAB is ON or OFF for multipliers. I want to minimise the resourse usage. Can any one explain why is this happening and I think if my some of multipliers can be implemented in EAB; it would help. Many thanks
