Design and execution of programmable logic device using quantum dot cellular automata

Abstract Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a nano scale which works out material that is being sight seen by researchers in the VLSI domain in order to reduce the CMOS transistors mount. In QCA, the elemental units of basic logic gates are QCA cells. During this work, a unique XOR/XNOR-functions like a gate with a pair of inputs, a single enable input and a result is proposed and designed in QCA nanotechnology. QCA circuits can be utilized to study and design PLD. This method presents rules for specialized architecture projects using programmable devices and a simulation engine is proposed to tune resource fully simulate circuits of QCA aimed for this construction. The presented cell structures are simulated (replicated) and tested by using the QCA designer tool. These designs are superior to the remaining designs in cell complexity, covered area.
