Methods and apparatus are provided for implementing an efficient saturating multiplier associated with addition and subtraction logic. The result of the multiplier is saturated before accumulating. The result of the multiplier can be stored in a result register in unsaturated form. The output of the result register can then be saturated and provided to addition and subtraction logic to allow efficient implementation of a saturating multiplier.
