The electrical circuitry for a multiplier system includes a counter for determining
proximity to sampling operation, and a switch to select between symmetrical noise
invariant operation and a low-power mode of operation. A noise invariant circuit
disables row skip operation in a multi-row multiplier, to enable analog sampling.
Disabling of the row skip operation is accomplished at a time which is several
digital cycles preceding the time of analog sampling. Power saving multiplier row
skippage resumes after analog sampling is completed.
