  abstract =     "Circuit approximation has been developed in recent
                 years as a viable method for constructing energy
                 efficient electronic systems. An open problem is how to
                 effectively obtain approximate circuits showing good
                 compromises between key circuit parameters -- the
                 error, power consumption, area and delay. The use of
                 evolutionary algorithms in the task of circuit
                 approximation has led to promising results; however,
                 only relative simple circuit instances have been
                 tackled because of the scalability problems of the
                 evolutionary design method. We propose to replace the
                 most time consuming part of the evolutionary design
                 algorithm, i.e. the fitness calculation exponentially
                 depending on the number of circuit inputs, by an
                 equivalence checking algorithm operating over Binary
                 Decision Diagrams (BDDs). Approximate circuits are
                 evolved using Cartesian genetic programming which calls
                 a BDD solver to calculate the fitness value of
                 candidate circuits. The method enables to obtain
                 approximate circuits consisting of tens of inputs and
                 hundreds of gates and showing desired trade-off between
                 key circuit parameters.",
