    Abstract: A multiplier circuit is provided to multiply a first operand and a second operand. The multiplier circuit includes a carry-save adder network comprising a plurality of carry-save adders to perform partial product additions to reduce a plurality of partial products to a redundant result value that represents a product of the first operand and the second operand. A number of the carry-save adders that is used to generate the redundant result value is controllable and is dependent on a width of at least one of the first operand and the second operand.
