4.2.3.3. Example: Converting to the LPM_MULT IP Core

You can convert the AMD* Xilinx* Multiplier Core that targets a AMD* Xilinx* device into multipliers for an Intel® FPGA device by using the IP Catalog.
In this example, the test module instantiates the mymult module, created using the AMD* Xilinx* Core Generator. The parameters are:
Table 58.  Parameters of Multiplier Module
Parameter Value
Multiplier Type Parallel multiplier where neither of the input buses is a constant value
Input data width 18 bits
Input data type Signed
Output result width Restricted to 36 bits
Number of pipeline stages 2
Implemented using Multipliers and optimized for Speed
The Original Verilog HDL Code in the Vivado* Software is:
module top(
        input clk,
        input [17:0] a,
        input [17:0] b,
        input ce,
        input sclr,
        output [35:0] p
        );
mymult i1 (
    .CLK(clk),
    .A(a), // Bus [17: 0]
    .B(b), // Bus [17: 0]
    .CE(ce),
    .SCLR(sclr),
    .P(p)); // Bus [35: 0]
endmodule
The original VHDL Code in the Vivado* Software is:

        clk: IN STD_LOGIC;
        a: IN STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(17 downto 0);

        sclr: IN STD_LOGIC;
        ce: IN STD_LOGIC;
        p: OUT STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(35 downto 0)
        );
END test;

END;
In the IP Catalog, select the LPM_MULT IP core to create the equivalent mymult module.
