Two-Dimensional Schemes for Clocking/Timing of QCA Circuits
Abstract
At nanoscale, quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) defines a new device architecture that permits the innovative design of digital systems. Features of these systems are the allowed crossing of signal lines with different orientation in polarization on a Cartesian plane, the potential of high throughput due to efficient pipelining, fast signal switching, and propagation. However, QCA designs of even modest complexity suffer from the negative impact due to the placement of long lines of cells among clocking zones, thus resulting in increased delay, slow timing, and sensitivity to thermal fluctuations. In this paper, different schemes for clocking and timing of the QCA systems are proposed; these schemes utilize 2D techniques that permit a reduction in the longest line length in each clocking zone. The proposed clocking schemes utilize logic-propagation techniques that have been developed for systolic arrays. Placement of QCA cells is modified to ensure correct signal generation and timing. The significant reduction in the longest line length permits a fast timing and efficient pipelining to occur while guaranteeing a kink-free behavior in switching.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
