The double-precision floating-point arithmetic, specifically multiplication, is a widely used arithmetic operation for many scientific and signal processing ap-plications. In general, the double-precision floating-point multiplier requires a large 53 × 53 mantissa multiplication in order to get the final result. This mantissa multi-plication exists as a limit on both area and performance bounds of this operation. This paper presents a novel way to reduce this large multiplication. The proposed approach in this paper allows to use less amount of multiplication hardware compared to the traditional method. The multiplication is done by using Karatsuba technique. This design is specifically targeting Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platforms, and it has also been evaluated on ASIC flow. The proposed module gives excellent performance with efficient use of resources. The design is fully compatible with the IEEE standard precision. The proposed module has shown a better performance in comparison with the best reported multipliers in the literature.
