Application of Reversible Logic Approach in 16 bit Arithmetic Logic Unit
Ankita Verma, Rita Jain · International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology · 2014
In modern Era of circuit designing, complexity of circuit increases day by day. Hence power dissipation plays important role in designing of any digital circuit. In earlier many approaches were used to reduce power dissipation. Reversible logic design can also be used for same objective. This approach gaining importance day by day. Arithmetic logic unit is very important part of central processing unit. So it must be fast in term of computations and should dissipate less power. Here a technique is discussed for designing arithmetic and logic unit with the use of reversible gates. Modules are designed using VHDL. Synthesis and simulation is carried out on Xilinx plan ahead 14.4.
