Abstract
To design the computing system, energy efficiency is an important issue to be considered. Approximate computing has been evolved as an optimistic solution for energy efficient design of digital systems. While designing these systems, power dissipation is the significant issue for integrated circuits in nanometric Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Approximate implementations of a circuit have been considered as a potential solution for applications in which exact result is not required, which eventually reduces power consumption. The approximate computing has various research activities which varies from programming languages to transistor levels. Here, different approximate adder circuits have been reviewed, which are based on XOR and XNOR gates, and majority gates. Where emerging nanotechnology exploit these majority gates, combining with approximate computing gives the potential to reduce power consumption. Approximate circuit provides low power consumption, low transistor count, less area and reduced delay. Hence it is a good option, when strict exact solution is not required. This paper is about the survey on arithmetic circuits and different design topologies such as Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA)and Nanomagnetic Logic (NML)

Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips

Volume 5 Issue 4 September - November 2017 Research Paper Continuous Overvoltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips Cengiz Polat* Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey. Uzunoglu, C. P. (2017). Continuous Over Voltage Characteristics of Surge Protected Power Strips.  i-manager’s Journal on Circuits and Systems,  5(4), 1-7.  https://doi.org/10.26634/jcir.5.4.13938 Abstract Increasing applications of constantly developing electronic devices require delicate voltage and current protection. Although the electrical network is monitored continuously, undesired over currents and over voltages may occur on the distribution system due to failures. Most of the electronic switch gear is connected via surge protected power strips in indoor applications, where current protection is vital. Surge protected power strips are usually manufactured based on Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) ...
