Popis: The design of inexact circuits at the transistor level remarkably improves figures of merits such as power consumption, delay, energy, and area. Therefore, inexact technique for designing circuits has attracted the attention of researchers worldwide. Designing inexact Full Adder cell as a building block of a variety of arithmetic circuits can affect the entire electronic system’s performance. In this paper, two novel inexact 1-bit Full Adder cells are presented using carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFETs). The capacitive threshold logic (CTL) is used to realize the proposed cells. Comprehensive simulations at two levels of abstraction, i.e., application and hardware are carried out to evaluate the efficacy of these circuits. First, the motion detector which is one of the image processing applications is deployed in MATLAB software to measure peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) figure of merit. At hardware level, the HSPICE tool is used to carry out simulations and measure power, delay, po...
