ARITHMETIC CIRCUIT WITH MULTIPLEXED ADDEND INPUTS

Described are arithmetic circuits divided logically into a product generator and an adder. Multiplexing circuitry logically disposed between the product generator and the adder supports conventional functionality by providing partial products from the product generator to addend terminals of the adder. The multiplexing circuitry can also be controlled to direct a number of external added inputs to the adder. The additional addend inputs can include inputs and outputs cascaded from other arithmetic circuits.
