Kondwani Makanda, Jun‐Cheol Jeon · Advanced science and technology letters · 2015
Decoders play an integral role in computer circuits. They are used in computer parts like random access memory(RAM). This paper presents a decoder with enable input. This decoder is developed using Quantum-dot cellular automata(QCA). QCA opens a completely radical way of microelectronics development and a potential replacement of CMOS based electronics. It ensures highly compact circuits, faster processing speeds, low power consumption. The use of clock in QCA provides power gain which is an important feature and this feature is not available in CMOS electronics.
