  Abstract

In this paper, an efficient digit-serial systolic array is proposed for multiplication in finite field using the polynomial basis representation. The proposed systolic array is based on the most significant digit first (MSD-first) multiplication algorithm and produces multiplication results at a rate of one every clock cycles, where is the selected digit size. Since the inner structure of the proposed multiplier is tree-type, critical path increases logarithmically proportional to . Therefore, the computation delay of the proposed architecture is significantly less than previously proposed digit-serial systolic multipliers whose critical path increases proportional to . Furthermore, since the new architecture has the features of a high regularity, modularity, and unidirectional data flow, it is well suited to VLSI implementation.
