A low-power Booth array multiplier with bypass circuits is provided. The multiplier includes a first encoder for Booth-encoding the multiplier; a second encoder for pre-encoding the multiplier to generate an enabling signal and a plurality of control signals, wherein the control signals are used for determining whether to process partial product calculations or not; a selector for generating partial products according to the encoding results from the first encoder and the multiplicand; an adder array, which is composed of a plurality of adders for summing up the partial products. The adder includes a first multiplexer and a second multiplexer. When an adder of one row is disabled by the enabling signal, the first multiplexer receives a summation of the former row and the second multiplexer receives the carry bit of the former row. The multiplier further includes a plurality of third multiplexers for outputting the summation of the adder array.
