: The most basic approach. It mimics manual multiplication by shifting the multiplicand and adding it to a running sum based on the multiplier's bits. While it uses minimal hardware (just an adder and registers), it takes 8 clock cycles to complete one multiplication.
Best for low-area designs where speed is not critical. The multiplication takes 8 clock cycles. 8bit multiplier verilog code github
