Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a new technology for eliminating some of the problems of existing technologies such as CMOS. Some of the key advantages of QCA are an intersection of wires in the same plane, high speed, small area, power consumption, complexity and low cost. Employing a three-input majority gate, a five-input majority gate and three logic gates, this study presents a full-adder circuit in a single layer which for higher efficiency and avoiding much complexity and based on the function of the intended full-adder circuit, the five-input gate is proposed. The proposed full-adder circuit and the proposed ripple adder circuit are compared with previous designs regarding complexity, number of cells, and area and the results are reported. Moreover, proposed circuits' power consumption has been calculated by using QCApro. These results indicate that the proposed full adder design in comparison with previous similar design achieved 36%, 20% and 4.4% reduction in the number of cells, latency and power consumption, respectively.

Designing and Implementing a Fast and Robust Full-Adder in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) Technology

Moving towards nanometer scales, Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology emerged as a novel solution, which can be a suitable replacement for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The 3-input majority function and inverter gate are fundamental gates in the QCA technology, which all logical functions are produced based on them. Like CMOS technology, making the basic computational element such as an adder with QCA technology, is considered as one of the most important issues that extensive research have been done about it. In this paper, a new QCA full-adder based on coupled majorityminority and 5-input majority gates is introduced which its novel structure, appropriate design technique selection and its arrangement make it very suitable. The experimental results showed that the proposed QCA full-adder makes only 48 cells and the first output is obtained in the 0.05clock. Therefore, the presented QCA full-adder improves the number of cells and gains a speedup rate of 33% in comparison with the best previous robust QCA full-adders. In addition, temperature analysis of the QCA full-adders shows that our design is more robust compared with other suggested QCA full-adders.

Design of Efficient Full Adder in Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata

The Scientific World Journal, 2013

Further downscaling of CMOS technology becomes challenging as it faces limitation of feature size reduction. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA), a potential alternative to CMOS, promises efficient digital design at nanoscale. Investigations on the reduction of QCA primitives (majority gates and inverters) for various adders are limited, and very few designs exist for reference. As a result, design of adders under QCA framework is gaining its importance in recent research. This work targets developing multi-layered full adder architecture in QCA framework based on five-input majority gate proposed here. A minimum clock zone (2 clock) with high compaction (0.01 μm2) for a full adder around QCA is achieved. Further, the usefulness of such design is established with the synthesis of high-level logic. Experimental results illustrate the significant improvements in design level in terms of circuit area, cell count, and clock compared to that of conventional design approaches.
