Automatic Design of Low-Power VLSI Circuits: Accurate and Approximate Multipliers

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In order to satisfy a constant need of reducing energy consumption of electronic devices, the approximate computing paradigm has been introduced in recent years. This paradigm is based on the fact that there are applications that are inherently capable of absorbing some errors in computation. Multimedia signal processing represents a typical example that allows for quality to be traded off for power. Typically, the approximate circuits are designed at gate level. This paper introduces an automatic design method that is able to operate directly at transistor level which offers a great potential for discovering novel implementations of approximate circuits. The method combines a stochastic search algorithm with transistor-level circuit simulator and is able to handle the circuits consisting of hundreds of transistors. The goal of the search strategy is to improve the power consumption. To estimate power consumption, an algorithm based on transistor switching activity is proposed. A desig
