This paper describes the design of the multiply- Accumulate unit and compares all parameters of the 4-bit, 8-bit, 12-bit, and 16-bit MAC unit. MAC is the basic unit that performs the multiplication operation and addition/accumulation operation. This MAC unit is designed on Vivado HLS software using LUTs at room temperature. These designs are analyzed and simulated by using the Vivado HLS tool and implemented on Zybo Evaluation and Development kit (xc7z020clg400-1).
