A Novel Design for Quantum-dot Cellular Automata Cells and Full Adders

Quantum dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a novel and potentially attractive technology for implementing computing architectures at the nanoscale. The basic Boolean primitive in QCA is the majority gate. In this paper we present a novel design for QCA cells and another possible and unconventional scheme for majority gates. By applying these items, the hardware requirements for a QCA design can be reduced and circuits can be simpler in level and gate counts. As an example, a 1-bit QCA adder is constructed by applying our new scheme and is compared to the other existing implementation. Beside, some Boolean functions are expressed as examples and it has been shown, how our reduction method by using new proposed item, decreases gate counts and levels in comparison to the other previous methods.

A High Dynamic Range 3-Moduli-Set with Efficient Reverse Converter

-Residue Number System (RNS) is a valuable tool for fast and parallel arithmetic. It has a wide application in digital signal processing, fault tolerant systems, etc. In this work, we introduce the 3-moduli set {2^n, 2^{2n}-1, 2^{2n}+1} and propose its residue to binary converter using the Chinese Remainder Theorem. We present its simple hardware implementation that mainly includes one Carry Save Adder (CSA) and a Modular Adder (MA). We compare the performance and area utilization of our reverse converter to the reverse converters of the moduli sets {2^n-1, 2^n, 2^n+1, 2^{2n}+1} and {2^n-1, 2^n, 2^n+1, 2^n-2^{(n+1)/2}+1, 2^n+2^{(n+1)/2}+1} that have the same dynamic range and we demonstrate that our architecture is better in terms of performance and area utilization. Also, we show that our reverse converter is faster than the reverse converter of {2^n-1, 2^n, 2^n+1} for dynamic ranges like 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit however it requires more area.
