Abstract
This paper focuses on a novel design of an adder/subtractor-based incrementer/decrementer using quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) technology. QCA is a promising nanotechnology that offers new techniques of computation and data transmission. We use the multilayer crossover technique in the proposed designs to achieve low latency and area for the scalability feature. Moreover, new designs of QCA half and full adders are proposed to improve the operating speed of the incrementer/decrementer. The working of the proposed designs is analyzed via the QCA simulator tool, and the results are compared with previous studies in terms of cell count, area, and latency. According to the analysis, the presented designs perform well; for example, the proposed 4-bit incrementer design shows an improvement of 65 % in terms of area usage and 3.2 times lower latency compared to its existing counterpart.
