Abstract
Two new approximate full adders (FAs) are proposed by the multiplexers (MUXs) and OR gates with the gate diffusion input (GDI) technique. The cells are named GDI-based MUX approximate FAs (GMAFAs), GMAFA1, and GMAFA2. The threshold voltage drop of the GDI-based circuits is solved by carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) technology and the dynamic threshold (DT) technique. The FAs have accurate Cout, approximate Sum, and a low number of transistors. They are low-power, high-speed, and energy-efficient for ripple-carry adders (RCAs). The GMAFA1 and GMAFA2 have a total area of 0.068 µm2 and 0.119 µm2, respectively, which demonstrate 27.8% and 54.55% improvement in power-delay-area-product (PDAP) in comparison with the best references. The results of error distance (ED), normalized mean error distance (NMED), power signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and energy-saving confirm the accuracy of the presented cells for image processing applications.
