Integrated Circuit(IC) fabrication technology is improving, so the internal dimension of semiconductor devices are decreasing day by day. This trend of scaling down dimensions reached its limit in near future. In nanoscale design, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) has certain limitations such as hot electron effect, interconnect crosstalk, power dissipation, operating speed, gate o...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the emerging nanotechnologies, promising alternative to CMOS technology due to faster speed, smaller size, lower power consumption, higher scale integration and higher switching frequency. Also, power dissipation is the main limitation of all the nano electronics design techniques including the QCA. Researchers have proposed the various mechanisms t...

This paper proposes a full adder with minimum power consumption and lowloss with a central frequency of 1550nm using plasmonic Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM)waveguide structure and rectangular cavity resonator. This full adder operates based onXOR and AND logic gates. In this full adder, the resonant wave composition of the firstand second modes has been used and we have ob...

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is a novel nanotechnology that promises smaller size, lower power consumption, with faster speed and is considered as a solution to the scaling problems in complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology.

Different logic gates like MV, NOT, AOI, NNI etc under QCA nanotechnology are introduced. NNI gate is highly effective regarding space and speed consideration. Any Boolean functions are synthesized by MV and NNI gates or simply NNI gates alone, eliminating inverter (NOT) gate. A new method for realizing adder circuit in binary reversible logic is invented. This procedure synthesizes for a more ...

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 s...

A fast low-power 1-bit full adder circuit suitable for nano-scale CMOS implementation is presented. Out of the three modules in a common full-adder circuit, we have replaced one with a new design, and optimized another one, all with the goal to reduce the static power consumption. The design has been simulated and evaluated using the 65 nm PTM models.

Optimizing arithmetic primitives such as quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) adders is important for investigating high-performance QCA computers in this emerging nano-technological paradigm. In this paper, we demonstrate that QCA ripple carry adder and bit-serial adder designs actually outperform carry-look-ahead and carry-select adder designs because of the increase in required interconnects....

In many building blocks of microprocessors and digital signal processing chips, adders are frequently available in their critical paths. Adders can also be used for subtraction, multiplication and division. One of the important basic arithmetic operations is addition. There are several structures like Ripple Carry Adder (RCA), Carry Look Ahead Adder (CLA) to perform the addition. Parallel prefi...
