Design of A Efficient Hybrid Adder Using Qca

As transistors decrease in size more and more of them can be accommodated in a single die, thus increasing chip computational capabilities. However, transistors cannot get much smaller than their current size. The quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) approach represents one of the possible solutions in overcoming this physical limit, even though the design of logic modules in QCA is not always straightforward. In this brief, we propose a new adder that outperforms all state of -The art competitors and achieves the best area delay tradeoff. The above advantages are obtained by using an overall area similar to the cheaper designs known in literature. The 64 bit version of the novel adder spans over 18.72 μ m2 of active area and shows a delay of only nine clock cycles, that is just 36 clock phases.
