The described multiplier provides the signed or unsigned product of a multiplicand and multiplier represented in preferably 1-of-4 N-NARY signals by performing a preferably radix-four Booth recoding of the multiplier, producing partial products using a plurality of Booth multiplexers, summing the partial productsto produce two intermediate partial products using a six-level Wallace tree, and summing the two intermediate partial products using a carry lookahead adder. The Booth encoding is performed at the dit level using encoding circuitry implemented in N-NARY logic.
