Multiply-Accumulator Mode
In multiply-accumulator mode (see Figure 2–37), the DSP block drives
multiplied results to the adder/subtractor/accumulator block configured
as an accumulator. You can implement one or two multiply-accumulators
up to 18 × 18 bits in one DSP block. The first and third multiplier sub-
blocks are unused in this mode, because only one multiplier can feed one
of two accumulators. The multiply-accumulator output can be up to 52
bits—a maximum of a 36-bit result with 16 bits of accumulation. The
accum_sload and overflow signals are only available in this mode.
The addnsub signal can set the accumulator for decimation and the
overflow signal indicates underflow condition.

Notes to Figure 2–37:
(1) These signals are not registered or registered once to match the data path pipeline.
(2) These signals are not registered, registered once, or registered twice for latency to match the data path pipeline.
Two-Multipliers Adder Mode
The two-multipliers adder mode uses the adder/subtractor/accumulator
block to add or subtract the outputs of the multiplier block, which is
useful for applications such as FFT functions and complex FIR filters. A
