Abstract
Quantum-dot Cellular automata is a promising area to implement digital systems at nano scale level. Adders and subtractors are widely used in almost every digital information processing system. This work targets to design an efficient 8-bit adder/subtractor that can perform addition as well as subtraction by using a novel control signal distribution scheme. To perform controlled inversion of inputs a novel exclusive-or gate with fewer cells is proposed. During Quantum-dot Cellular automata circuit fabrication, missing cell defects have the potential to affect the performance of a circuit. The proposed designs have higher fault resistance to missing cell defects compared to the existing state-of-the-art designs. Results demonstrate that the proposed design has (N-2) less clock phases compared to the existing state-of-the-art designs. The proposed design can be extended to implement any N-bit adder/subtractor. All the designs are designed and verified using coherence vector simulation engine in QCADesigner.
