Abstract

Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a well accepted for the next generation computer technology as it is capable of overcoming certain technical limitations of existing CMOS technology. We have designed the Gray code counter using two-dot one-electron QCA. As the Set-Reset flipflop is the building block of the Gray code counter, we also designed the Set-Reset flipflop. Computing the potential energies we have substantiated and analyzed the proposed design and calculated the energy and power related parameters. We have also compared our work with the four-dot two-electron QCA architecture and found that the proposed designs are superior to the existing ones in terms of space utilization, energy and power dissipation.
