Abstract

Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a transistor-less technology. In QCA, Columbic repulsion between electrons in the quantum dots makes data transfer possible. This paper presents the design of flip flops using a proposed Rotated-Normal Cells with Displacement (RND) inverter and a cell interaction method. The SR latch, SR Flip Flop (FF), D FF, and T FF are developed using QCA. The proposed D FF gives total and average energy dissipation of 1.31e-002eV and 1.19e-003eV respectively. It also gives a delay of 1 clock phase.  The Proposed T FF provides total and average energy dissipation of 2.40e-002eV and 2.18e-003eV respectively, depicting efficient D FF and T FF in energy dissipation. The proposed SR Flip flop design gives an efficient area. The FFs with the proposed RND inverter and cell interaction method can be the best choice for future Nano communication to construct Nano circuits with less energy dissipation and high speed.
