- Abstract
- Conventional CMOS technology has a lot of limitations while scaling into a nano-level. Therefore, several alternative technologies have been proposed as solutions in the open literature. Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA) technology is one such technology which can be a perfect replacement of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology for digital designs. Several digital circuit designs using QCA have been reported in the open literature but to the author’s best knowledge QCA based designs of code converters have not been given. Therefore, in this paper the QCA based implementation of code converters is introduced. The proposed QCA designs enjoy the features of small area, superior performance factors in respect of noise, circuit stability and low power dissipation. The operation of QCA circuit is simulated using QCA designer bistable vector simulation.
