Abstract

The approximate full adder (FA) and subtractor of about 8 transistors each with small areas respectively. The FA and subtractor make very few errors, three errors in the FA and two errors in the subtractor, so they are adequate for approximate computing applications. In order to achieve increased speed, output swing and drivability, the structures include gate diffusion input (GDI) and dynamic threshold (DT) methods employing carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNTFET) technology. These devices are also integrated into an Eight-bit ripple carry adder and an Eight-bit subtractor, respectively, to create a new approximate multiplier-free discrete cosine transform (DCT) based only on addition, hence considerably lowering computational complexity. The Eight-point DCT proposed shows low power consumption(40% lower than CMOS), Delay (30%lower than CMOS) and good trade-off between performance and error tolerance, and hence is suitable for image compression and noise reduction in medical imaging.
