Abstract

At nanoscale, for digital systems, the device density and power constraint of the circuit are essential issues. Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an incipient nanotechnology, which leads to build circuits at nanoscale. It offers various features such as minimal power dissipation, very high-operating frequency, and nanoscale feature size. Besides, reversible computation can lead to the development of low-power systems without loss of information. Thus, reversible QCA logic can provide a powerful and efficient computing platform for digital applications. This paper presents a QCA code converter. Feynman gate is used as a fundamental building block to perform the proposed design of code converter. QCADesigner version 2.0.3 is used to validate the accuracy of the proposed circuit. QCAPro, a very widespread power estimator simulation engine, is applied to estimate the power depletion of the proposed circuit.
