Power and Area Efficient Approximate Multipliers for Image Processing Application

Abstract: Inexact or approximate computing can decrease the complexity of the design, thereby increasing its performance and power efficiency for error-tolerant applications. This brief deals with a new outline approach for inexact multipliers. The partial products results obtain for the multiplier are altered for producing varying probable terms. The logic complexity for inexact computing depends on the probability for the accumulation of altered partial products. The proposed inexact multiplier is utilized in two variations of 16-bit multipliers. They consume less power and area when compared to existing inexact multipliers. The performance of the proposed multipliers is estimated using image processing application, where it achieves the highest peak signal to noise ratio.
