Efficient architecture for square circuit using Quantum Dot Cellular Automata (QCA)
摘要
In digital signal processing (DSP), the squaring operation is required for several crucial processes such as discrete Fourier transform, convolution and digital filters. In literature, the squarer is implemented using traditional multipliers. This architecture requires a larger number of gates, which increases area and power consumption. In order to address the current problems, this paper introduces a self-multiplier design using quantum dot cellular automata (QCA). The proposed 2-bit square circuit (P2BSC) and the proposed 4-bit square circuit (P4BSC) are implemented with the help of an inverter gate (INV), a 3 input majority voter gate (MV3), a 5 input majority voter gate (MV5) and an XOR gate with 2 inputs. The 2-bit square architecture has 24 cells, which is 62.5% less than the number of cells in the existing versions. A circuit delay of 0.5 clock cycles (CLKS) and a footprint of 0.03
