A data processor, such as a DSP, includes a multiplier block having a multiplier front end for generating partial products from input operands, and further includes a plurality of ALUs having inputs that are switchably or programmably coupled, in a first mode of operation, to first data sources representing outputs of the multiplier front end. In the first mode of operation the ALUs add together partial products received from the multiplier front end to arrive at a multiplication result. In a second mode of operation the inputs of the plurality of ALUs are switchably or programmably coupled to second data sources for performing at least one of arithmetic and logical operations on data received from the second data sources.
