Description
Multiplies the contents of registers rA and rB and puts the result in register rD. This is a 32-bit by 32-
bit multiplication that will produce a 64-bit result. The least significant word of this value is placed in
rD. The most significant word is discarded.
Pseudocode
(rD) ← LSW( (rA) × (rB) )
Registers Altered
•rD
Latency
• 1 cycle with C_AREA_OPTIMIZED=0 or 2
• 3 cycles with
C_AREA_OPTIMIZED=1
Note
This instruction is only valid if the target architecture has multiplier primitives, and if present, the
MicroBlaze parameter C_USE_HW_MUL is greater than 0.
