On the Design of Logarithmic Multiplier Using Radix-4 Booth Encoding

This paper proposes an energy-efficient approximate multiplier which combines radix-4 Booth encoding and logarithmic product approximation. Additionally, a datapath pruning technique is proposed and studied to reduce the hardware complexity of the multiplier. Various experiments were conducted to ev...
