16 bits to 8 bits

Hi guys. I want to do multiplication operation. My data a is 8 bits and data B also 8 bits. Then, the width will be 16 bits when I used lpm_mult. Is there any method to reduce the output to 8 b...

Hi Cris72.

Thanks for your respond. Is it ok if I just xtract any 8bits same as you said eventhough the result of multiplication will be different. For example, dataa=128 (decimal) and datab=5(decimal). It should be 640. I have try just xtract any 8bits, the result is 50 (decimal). I need 8 bit because I want to display the data on VGA monitor.
