Abstract There is provided is a product-sum calculation circuit which can be constructed of a ROM having a small capacity. In this product-sum calculation circuit, when multiplier selection signals A0 through A2 select X as a multiplier, a second selector circuit 103 selects a product Ck×X obtained by multiplying a multiplicand Ck by the multiplier X and outputs the same to an output control circuit 104. In this case, the output control circuit 104 outputs the product Ck×X without shifting the same. When the multiplier selection signals A0 through A2 select (2 n )X as the multiplier, the second selector circuit 103 selects the product Ck×X obtained by multiplying the multiplicand Ck by the multiplier X and outputs the same to the output control circuit 104 similar to the case where the multiplier X is selected. In this case, the output control circuit 104 outputs (2 n )-fold value of (Ck×X) by shifting leftward the product Ck×X by n bits. Therefore, merely by storing (Ck×X) in a data storage circuit 102, a (2 n )-fold output of (Ck×X) can be obtained.
A product-sum calculation circuit comprising: a data storage circuit which stores therein products of a plurality of multiplicands and a plurality of multipliers; a selecting section which selects a multiplicand and a multiplier, reads out a product signal related to a product of the selected multiplicand and the selected multiplier from the data storage circuit, and outputs the product signal; and a first output control section which determines by selection according to the multiplier or the multiplicand whether to output the product signal outputted from the selecting section while shifting the product signal by n (n: integer) bits or output the product signal without shift, and outputs the product signal in the selected manner.
