Abstract

Conventional lithography-based VLSI design technology deployed to optimize low-powered-computing and higher scale integration of semiconductor components. However, this downscaling trend confronts serious challenges of tunneling and leakage current increment to the Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) technology on nanoscale regimes. To resolve the physical restriction of the CMOS, Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology dedicates for the nanoscale technology that embrace a new information transformation technique. However, QCA is limited to the design of the sequential and combinational circuits only. This paper presents some highly scalable features reversible logic gate for the QCA technology. In addition, proposed layout compared with CMOS technology, offer a better reduction in size up to 233 times.

Summary

Introduction

The reversible logic has attained a great attention due to their ability of power minimization which is the main requirement in the low power VLSI design This technology is a promising computing paradigm that has immense applications in emerging technologies such as quantum dot cellular automata, quantum computing, optical computing, DNA computing, optical information processing, etc. In reversible circuits the input and output mapping is oneto-one that means every unique output vector is generated from each input vector, and vice versa It has shown by (Landauer 1961) that the loss of every bit of information dissipates energy of kTln joules, where k is Boltzmann’s constant and T is the absolute temperature. The QCA based design consists of a wire, a 3-input majority voter gate, and an inverter.
