Design and analysis of efficient QCA reversible adders

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) as an emerging nanotechnology are envisioned to overcome the scaling and the heat dissipation issues of the current CMOS technology. In a QCA structure, information destruction plays an essential role in the overall heat dissipation, and in turn in the power consumption of the system. Therefore, reversible logic, which significantly controls the information flow of the system, is deemed suitable to achieve ultra-low-power structures. In order to benefit from the opportunities QCA and reversible logic provide, in this paper, we first review and implement prior reversible full-adder art in QCA. We then propose a novel reversible design based on three- and five-input majority gates, and a robust one-layer crossover scheme. The new full-adder significantly advances previous designs in terms of the optimization metrics, namely cell count, area, and delay. The proposed efficient full-adder is then used to design reversible ripple-carry adders (RCAs) with different sizes (i.e., 4, 8, and 16 bits). It is demonstrated that the new RCAs lead to 33% less garbage outputs, which can be essential in terms of lowering power consumption. This along with the achieved improvements in area, complexity, and delay introduces an ultra-efficient reversible QCA adder that can be beneficial in developing future computer arithmetic circuits and architecture

A Novel Nanometric Fault Tolerant Reversible Subtractor Circuit

Abstract: Reversibility plays an important role when energy efficient computations are considered. Reversible logic circuits have received significant attention in quantum computing, low power CMOS design, optical information processing and nanotechnology in the recent years. This study proposes a new fault tolerant reversible half-subtractor and a new fault tolerant reversible full-subtractor circuit with nanometric scales. Also in this paper we demonstrate how the well-known and important, PERES gate and TR gate can be synthesized from parity preserving reversible gates. All the designs have nanometric scales

Design of efficient reversible floating-point arithmetic unit on field programmable gate array platform and its performance analysis

The reversible logic gates are used to improve the power dissipation in modern computer applications. The floating-point numbers with reversible features are added advantage to performing complex algorithms with high-performance computations. This manuscript implements an efficient reversible floating-point arithmetic (RFPA) unit, and its performance metrics are realized in detail. The RFP adder/subtractor (A/S), RFP multiplier, and RFP divider units are designed as a part of the RFP arithmetic unit. The RFPA unit is designed by considering basic reversible gates. The mantissa part of the RFP multiplier is created using a 24x24 Wallace tree multiplier. In contrast, the reciprocal unit of the RFP divider is designed using Newton Raphson’s method. The RFPA unit and its submodules are executed in parallel by utilizing one clock cycle individually. The RFPA unit and its submodules are synthesized separately on the Vivado IDE environment and obtained the implementation results on Artix-7 field programmable gate array (FPGA). The RFPA unit utilizes only 18.44% slice look-up tables (LUTs) by consuming the 0.891 W total power on Artix-7 FPGA. The RFPA unit sub-models are compared with existing approaches with better performance metrics and chip resource utilization improvements
