Adiabatic implementation of reversible logic
A. Khazamipour, Katarzyna Radecka · 2005
Reversible circuits are applicable to nanotechnology, quantum and optical computing, as well as to reducing power in CMOS implementations. In adiabatic circuits, current is restricted to flow across devices with low voltage drop and the energy stored on their capacitors is recycled. We first introduce a new reversible gate capable to realize functions {AND, OR} or {NAND, NOR}. Next, we use reversible energy recovery logic (RERL), with eight-phase clocking scheme for designing of basic reversible gates. With RERL concept we can meet Bennett (Bennett, 1973) theorem and implement any reversible logic gate or circuit.
