A multiply accumulator performs a multiplication-and-addition operation for a first multiplier with N bits, a second multiplier with N bits, and an addend with M bits, wherein M is larger than 2N. The multiply accumulator includes a modified Booth encoder and a multiplication-and-addition unit. The modified Booth encoder performs a Booth encoding to either the first multiplier or its bit inversion by supplementing a multiplier sign bit behind a least significant bit of either the first multiplier or its bit inversion. The multiplication-and-addition unit includes a carry save adder tree and a sign extension adder and achieves a high speed of the multiplication-and-addition operation by simultaneously performing the multiplication and addition.
