K. Pandiammal, D. Meganathan · 2017
The Quantum-dot cellular automate (QCA) approach is a promising nanotechnology and an alternative for current CMOS technology. It is an appropriate method for the design of high speed and low power digital circuits. Multipliers are used a lot for arithmetic operations in signal, image processing and scientific applications. This paper focuses on efficient design of QCA-based FIR serial multipliers and the design is optimized using cut-set algorithm. The main contribution of the work is to reduce area, clock delay and cell count. The FIR serial multiplier is designed using the zone cross over method and the results are compared with existing work using QCA cost function. The proposed multiplier is simulated using QCADesigner tool.
