Abstract: Recently, low-power consuming devices are gaining
demand due to excessive use and requirement of hand-held &
portable electronic gadgets. The quest for designing better options
to lower the power consumption of a device is in high-swing. The
paper proposes two 32 x 32 – bit multipliers. The first design is
based only on the Urdhava Tiryakbhyam Sutra of Vedic
Mathematics. The use of this sutra has created a multiplier with
higher throughput and lesser power utilization than
conventional 32 x 32 – bit multipliers. The second design
incorporates the reversible logic into the first design, which
further reduces the power consumption of the system. Thus
bringing together Vedic sutra for multiplication and reversible
gates has led to the development of a Reversible Vedic Multiplier
which has both the advantages of high-speed and low-power
consumption.

I. INTRODUCTION
Low power usage is a major requisite in electronic systems.
The demand of such systems is inversely proportional to its
power consumption. Increased throughput of the system is an
added advantage and the market is in need for such systems.
Multiplication is an unavoidable process for systems dealing
in signal processing, acoustics, communication and wireless
technology [1]. The greater the bit size of the input to the
multiplier, the greater the delay in receiving the output. Many
research works have been focused on reducing the power
requirement and decreasing the delay in generating outputs of
a multiplier [2]. To develop a system with greater speed and
lower power consumption, it is thus required to optimize the
multipliers [3]. It has been understood that Vedic multipliers
produce faster response than standard multipliers. Also use of
Reversible logic gates limits the use of power. These two
techniques are employed together to design two 32 x 32 – bit
multipliers, both of which consume low power and provide
quick outputs. Vedic Mathematics, is well-known for its
simplicity and mental calculation capability [4]. It is a
collection of 16 different formulae, applicable to all areas of
mathematics like arithmetic, geometry, calculus, algebra,
trigonometry and conics [3], [5]. The Urdhava Tiryakbhyam
(UT) sutra is the only formula in Vedic Mathematics, out of
the 16, which is applicable for all general types of
multiplication [6]. The use of this sutra allows parallel
generation of partial products (PP) during multiplication. The

final output is got faster due to this process and thus greatly
improves the speed of the system [7].
Reversible logic is a key area attracting a lot of research in
the past decades [8]. Circuits employing reversible gates are
low power-consuming as they do not lose information during
the logic implementation. A reversible gate is represented by
‘n * n’ which indicates it has ‘n’ inputs and ‘n’ outputs. There
is a one to one mapping between the inputs and outputs of a
reversible gate [9], [10]. Most notable reversible gates are
Fredkin, Toffoli and Peres [11].
The paper presents two designs of 32 x 32 – bit multiplier.
The first design applies the UT Sutra for performing the
multiplication. Results show this design utilizes less power
and has high speed. The second design makes use of
Reversible logic gates along with the UT sutra. It employs
3 * 3 Toffoli gates for the logic execution. It is observed that
this multiplier consumes lower power than the 1
st
design.
The rest of the paper is as follows: Section II deals with
Vedic mathematics and the UT sutra. The reversible gates are
described in Section III. The design and implementation of
the two 32 x 32 – bit multipliers are explained in Section IV.
Results and discussion are provided in Section V, and
conclusion in Section VI.
II. VEDIC MATHEMATICS AND UT SUTRA
Vedic Mathematics is the contribution of Shri Bharati
Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja and is based on the Vedas [3]. It
contains sutras (formulae) which help solve mathematical
problems a lot easier and faster than the conventional system
of mathematics. His findings were published in a book called
Vedic Mathematics. It has been observed that use of Vedic
Mathematics to solve problems reduces the time taken for
calculation, when compared with regular mathematics [6].
The advantage of this is the use of mental calculations and
little or no use of pen and paper to reach the results.
The UT sutra is one of the 16 sutras in Vedic mathematics.
This sutra meaning “Vertical and Crosswise” follows vertical
and crosswise multiplication between the bits of the input
[12]. It follows a pattern which can be represented by a line
diagram. The line diagram of a multiplier having two 2 – bit
inputs, 4 – bit inputs and 8 – bit inputs are shown in Fig. 1(a),
(b) and (c).
