Digital circuit: multiplying 2 binary numbers

Click For Summary
A digital circuit can multiply two binary numbers using the repeated addition method, where the multiplicand is stored in register BR and the multiplier in register AR, with the product in register PR. The circuit employs an adder to sum the contents of BR to PR, repeating this process based on the value in AR. A zero-detection circuit identifies when AR reaches zero, signaling the end of the multiplication process. Participants are encouraged to share their progress and challenges when seeking help with homework-related questions. Collaboration can lead to a better understanding of the circuit design.

"Design a digital circuit that multiplies two binary numbers by the repeated addition method (to mult. 5x4, the digi system evaluates the product by adding the multiplicand fours times: 5+5+5+5=20). Let the multiplicand be in register BR, the multiplier in reg AR, the product in reg PR. An adder circuit adds the contents of BR to PR. A zero-detection circuit Z checks when AR becomes 0 after each time that it is decremented."

Welcome to PF, SFighter. It sounds like this question should be posted in the Homework forums:

When you post a homework question, you should show the work you've done to try to figure out the answer. Like on this problem, show how much of the circuit you've figured out, and what you are having trouble understanding.
 
Nevermind - me and a friend just figured it out (ASM related)
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
