8.0
8.1
An 8 x 8 hardware multiplier is included in the ALU of
the PIC18F2X20/4X20 devices. By making the multiply
a hardware operation, it completes in a single instruc-
tion 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.
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
multiply and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.

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.
