Truncated multiplication can be used to significantly reduce the power dissipation for applications that do not require correctly-rounded results. This paper presents an efficient method for truncated multiplication called hybrid-correction truncation that utilizes the advantages of two previous methods to obtain lower average and maximum absolute error. Comparisons are presented contrasting power, area, and delay for all three methods compared to standard parallel multipliers. Estimates indicates that hybrid truncated multipliers dissipate slightly less power and consume slightly less area than previous methods for truncated multiplication. In addition, utilization of the hybrid truncation method can provide a method for altering the implementation within certain limits to meet a given precision.
