Abstract
In the present work, a high speed and energy saving approximate multiplier is proposed. It reduces the computational complexity by rounding off the operands to the nearest exponent equivalent values of two. As a result, the processing time is reduced with high energy efficiency at the cost of introducing roundoff error. The performance of the proposed multiplier is evaluated and compared with the existing ones. The proposed approximate multiplier is also applied to filters.
