摘要

This paper presents the design of a low-power logic gate approximate adder based on an inexact full adder. Simulation results show that the proposed adder improves the accuracy over approximate adders by 27% in terms of mean square error (MSE) while achieving a power reduction of 8% demonstrated by synthesis. Moreover, when compared to the exact adder, the proposed circuit achieves a power reduction of up to 40% in the case of a 16-bit adder with 14 approximated bits.
