The main aim of this work is to reduce the power in multiplier by using different 4:2 compressors designs

Abstract

In this project, three novel approximate 4-2 compressors are proposed and utilized in 8-bit multipliers. Meanwhile, an error-correcting module (ECM) is presented to promote the error performance of approximate multiplier with the proposed 4-2 compressors. Approximate computing is utilized in some digital signal processing applications which are inherent error tolerant circuits. The approximate arithmetic blocks are utilized in them to optimize performance of these circuits. Multiplier is basic in computer arithmetic blocks. Moreover, the 4-2 compressors are widely employed in the parallel multipliers to accelerate the compression process of partial products. In this project, the number of the approximate 4-2 compressor’s outputs is innovatively reduced to one, which brings further improvements in the energy-efficiency. Compared with the exact 4-2 compressors, the simulation results indicate that the proposed approximate compressors UCAC1, UCAC2, UCAC3 achieve optimized delay, power and area, respectively. And the utilization of these proposed compressors in 8-bit multipliers brings reduction of power consumption.
