In today's world , power dissipation is one of the major concern as the complexity of the chip is increasing and more devices are being integrated on a single chip. Thus this high density of chip and increased power dissipation demands for better power optimization methods. Reversible logic is one of the method to reduce power dissipation. Reversible computing has a wide number of applications in areas of advance computing such as low power CMOS VLSI design, nanotechnology, cryptography, optical computing, DNA computing and quantum computing. This paper presents improved and logic efficient reversible four bit carry skip adder block. The performance of the proposed architecture is better in terms of number of transistors, garbage outputs, constant inputs and gate count when compared with existing works. Also the design forms the basis for different quantum ALU and reversible processors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
