Abstract

Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata is a next-generation nanocircular design technology that is drawing attention from many research organizations not only because it is possible to design efficient circuits by overcoming the physical size limitations of existing CMOS circuits, but also because of its energy-efficient features. In this paper, one of the existing digital circuits, T flip-flop circuit, is proposed using QCA. The previously proposed T flip-flops are designed based on the majority gate, so the circuits are complex and have long delays. Therefore, the design of the XOR gate-based T flip-flop using cell interaction reduces circuit complexity and minimizes latency. The proposed circuit is simulated using QCADesigner, and the performance is compared and analyzed with the existing proposed circuits.

양자점 셀룰라 오토마타(Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata)는 기존의 CMOS 회로의 물리적 크기 한계를 극복하여 효율적인 회로 설계가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 에너지 효율이 우수한 특징 때문에 많은 연구 단체에서 주목받고 있는 차세대 나노 회로 설계기술이다. 본 논문에서는 QCA를 이용하여 기존 디지털 회로 중 하나인 T 플립플롭 회로를 제안한다. 기존에 제안되었던 T 플립플롭들은 다수결게이트를 기반으로 설계되었기 때문에 회로가 복잡하며 지연시간이 길다. 따라서 다수결게이트를 최소화시키며, 셀 간 상호작용을 이용한 XOR 게이트 기반의 T 플립플롭을 설계함으로써 회로의 복잡도를 줄이고, 지연시간을 최소화한다. 제안하는 회로는 QCADesigner를 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하며, 기존에 제안된 회로들과 성능을 비교 및 분석한다.
