چکیده

This report provides an overview of the current state of reversible sequential logic. We assume that the reader has a basic knowledge of reversible logic. An overview of necessary information is provided in [1]. Most research in reversible logic has concentrated on synthesis techniques for combinational logic. Sequential logic synthesis requires the incorporation of memory cells and feedback in a circuit, which seems to violate the definition of reversible logic. Previous researchers who have investigated this problem have approached it from two avenues; those who have proposed theoretical structures (i.e. gates) for building sequential building blocks such as latches and flip-flops, for example [2] and [3] and those who have proposed physical designs for memory cells (e.g. RAM), for example [4]. Our interest is directed mainly at logic synthesis at the gate level, and so we will concentrate on the former. This report gives an overview of the proposed structures, and suggests new work in how these might be incorporated into logic synthesis techniques aimed at producing sequential reversible logic circuits.

Efficient Genetic Based Methods for Optimizing the Reversible and Quantum Logic Circuits

Various synthesis methods have been proposed in the literature for reversible and quantum logic circuits. However, there are few algorithms to optimize an existing circuit with multiple constraints simultaneously. In this paper, some heuristics in genetic algorithms (GA) to optimize a given circuit in terms of quantum cost, number of gates, location of garbage outputs, and delay, are proposed. ...

A Novel Analysis of Sequential Circuits Design Using Reversible Logic

Reversible logic design attracts more interest due to its low power consumption. A lot of research has been done in combinational as well as sequential design of reversible circuits. As far as it is known, this is the first attempt to apply reversible logic to synchronous counters design using T flipflop. In this paper we have also proposed a new reversible gate which can be used as copying gat...
