Abstract In any of the fastest ALU, multiplier play an inevitable role. There is always a demand on high speed multiplier due to the raising limitation on delay. Increasing the speed of a multiplier there are number of new techniques have been implemented in which multiplier using Vedic mathematics are foremost one. Vedic mathematics are derived from ancient Vedas, it is mainly divided in to 16 sutras and upasutra in which Urdhva Thiryagbhayam and Nikhilam sutra are used for multiplication. Multiplier are used in different area such as cryptography, image processing application, embedded system application, programmable filter application etc. The multiplier efficiency are depended on their speed, delay and area .In this article different multiplier are compared with their efficiency and concluded that Vedic multiplier are most prominent along them.
