Abstract

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a raising nanotechnology with the potential for quicker speed, smaller size and low power consumption than CMOS based technology. This paper proposes the design of functional blocks for Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and for majority gate (MV) using certain unique QCA characteristics. Previous works were based on the conventional design and have different approaches when compared with QCA method. This paper helps to resolve the conventional method by converting all Boolean logics into a NAND and NOR based majority voter by fixing one of the inputs. The proposed work presents a significant amount of reduction in the cell count, area of the cell, and clock delay phase, compared to previous work in QCA. The experimental result shows a reduction in number of cells is by 35.40%, Area of cells (um2) by 15.88% and clock delay phase by 48.21%. Simulations indicate an appealing performance in terms of area, delay, and complexity. Simulation results are validated using the quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) Designer 2.0.3 tool.
