This paper presents a configurable binary design library including fundamental arithmetic circuits like full-adder, full-subtractor, binary multiplier, shifter, and more. The Chisel Hardware Construction Language (HCL) is employed to build the parameterizable designs with different precision including half-word, word, double-word, and quad-word. Chisel HCL is an open-source embedded domain-specific language that inherits the object-oriented and functional programming aspects of Scala for constructing hardware. Experimental results show the same accuracy achieved by our proposed work compared with the Verilog HDL implementations. The hardware cost in terms of slice count, power consumption, and the maximum clock frequency is further estimated. Compared with traditional design intellectual properties (IPs) provided by IP vendors, our proposed work is configurable and expandable to the other arithmetic implementations and projects.
