MATRIX TIMES MATRIX MULTIPLIER

A circuit for the multiplication of the elements of a multiplicand matrix represented by first digital signals by the elements of a multiplier matrix represented by second digital signals. A multiplicand line is provided for every row of the multiplicand matrix and the individual sections (L11. . . L14) o f these multiplicand lines are connected to bit-associated circuits (bit planes) (BP1. . . BP4). Every bit plane contains the partial product stages (1, 2, 3) which are allocated to the bits of the second digital signals having a defined significance, and also contain an iterative circuit composed of adders (4, 5) and time delay elements (6, 7, 8) in an alternating arrangement.
