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.
Design of novel carry save adder using quantum dot-cellular automata
Journal of Computational Science, 2017
Complex adder designs in Quantum Dot-Cellular Automata (QCA) are primary focus of researchers on lowering cell-count, delay and QCA gates. The cell count, area and delay of two input adders such as Brent-Kung, Ladner-Ficher, Han-Carlson and Kogg-Stone are at least doubles when three numbers are added, compared to adding two numbers. Besides, the interconnected QCA wires for these adders decrease the addition time. To eliminate this problem, a new 4-bit Carry Save Adder (CSA) is proposed in this paper. To design the CSA circuit, a novel design of full adder circuit using 5-input majority gate (MV) has been proposed. The proposed design has around 11.76% improvement in cell count and 33.33% improvement in latency compared to the existing QCA full-adders. Besides, when three binary numbers are added, CSA is far more advantageous compared to similar addition using two input prefix adders, in terms of QCA cell count, area and clock delay. Compared to 4-bit traditional adders, proposed CSA has around 80% decreases in overall circuit cost. The QCA layout of CSA is the first one of its kind. An improved QCA layout of a 4-bit ripple carry adder (RCA) is also proposed in this paper. The RCA has around 7.6% improvement in cell count, 33.33% improvement in latency and around 5.56% improvement in overall cost over compared to the existing layouts.
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.

A novel single layer full-adder in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA)
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a new technology for designing digital circuits in nanoscale. The design of a QCA circuit is radically different from the conventional digital design due to its unique characteristics at both the physical and logical levels. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata is not a physical implementation yet, it is rather a lower-level abstraction since there are several ways to build the quantum dots and connect them. Quantum dots can be any charge containers, with discrete electrical energy states (there may be more than two states, but only two-state case is used), sometimes called artificial atoms. In this paper, a new 3-input majority gate was initially proposed, then an efficient design of a single-layer full-adder was introduced using the proposed optimized 3-input majority gate. The functional correctness of the proposed structure is evaluated by the QCA Designer tool. Simulation results show that the proposed full-adder is improved and more efficient in...
