| Abstract | Approximate circuits exploit error resilience property of applications to tradeoff computation quality (accuracy) for gaining advantage in terms of performance, power, and/or area. While state-of-the-art low-latency approximate adders provide an accuracy-area-latency configurable design space, the selection of a particular configuration from the design space is still manually done. In this paper, we analytically analyze different structural properties of low-latency approximate adders to formulate a new adder model, Quality-area optimal Low-Latency approximate Adder (QuAd). It provides an increased design space as compared to state-of-the-art, providing design points that require less logic area for the same accuracy, as compared to state-of-the-art approximate adders. Furthermore, based upon our mathematical analysis, we show that, provided a latency constraint, an adder configuration with the highest quality and lowest area requirement can effortlessly be selected from the whole design space of QuAd adder model, without requiring any optimization strategy or numerical simulation. Our experimental results validate the developed model and also the quality-area optimality of our optimal QuAd adder configuration. For functional verification and prototyping, we have used a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA. RTL/behavioral models and MATLAB equivalent scripts, of our proposed adder model are made open source, to facilitate further research and development. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
