8.0
8.1
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18F2331/2431/4331/4431 devices. By making
the multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a
single instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply
that gives a 16-bit result. The result is stored into the
16-bit product register pair (PRODH:PRODL). The
multiplier does not affect any flags in the Status
register.
TABLE 8-1:
8.2
Example 8-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.
Example 8-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.

Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply
The performance increase allows the device to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.
Table 8-1 shows a performance comparison between
enhanced devices using the single cycle hardware mul-
tiply, and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.
