Notes:
1. Combinatorial delay is less and pipelined performance is higher when multiplying input data with less than 18 bits.
2. The PREG register is typically used in both single-stage and two-stage pipelined multiplier implementations.
3. Input registers AREG or BREG are typically used when inferring a two-stage multiplier.
