As an important arithmetic module, the adder plays a key role in determining the operation speed and power consumption. The demand for computing speed and efficiency and the fault tolerance of some applications have promoted the development of approximate adders. Traditional adders generally use precise addition operations, and the circuit area and power consumption are relatively large. In recent years, a new circuit design method—approximate addition calculation, has appeared. By simplifying the circuit, the calculation accuracy is appropriately reduced, and finally the area, power consumption, delay and accuracy are compromised. This article compares the current mainstream approximate adder designs at home and abroad, and compares and evaluates the errors and circuit characteristics. The simulation results show that the LOA has the smallest area and the lowest power consumption due to the full use of logic or gates for low-bit operations, but the accuracy is not considered, and the error rate is the highest; ETAII and ACA have a slightly larger area than LOA, and the power consumption increases accordingly, and accuracy is considered in the design, which reduces the error rate; ACA has the most prominent advantage in terms of delay; SCSA is equipped with a window adder, which has a larger area and power consumption, which also improves its accuracy. %K 近似加法器,容错,进位跳跃,Verilog HDL语言
