Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is one of the promising technologies that enable nanoscale circuit design with high performance and low-power consumption features. As memory cell and flip-flops are rudimentary for most of the digital circuits, having a high speed, and a less complex memory cell is significantly important. This paper presents novel architecture of D flip-flops and memory cell using a recently proposed five-input majority gate in QCA technology and simulated by QCADesigner tool version 2.0.3. The simulation results show that the proposed D flip-flops and the memory cell are more superior to the existing designs by considering the common design parameters. The proposed RAM cell spreads over an area of 0.12[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m2and delay of 1.5 clock cycles. The proposed level-triggered, positive/negative edge-triggered, and dual edge-triggered D flip-flop uses 14%, 33%, and 21% less area, whereas the latency is 40%, 27%, and 25% less when compared to the previous best design. In addition, all the proposed designs are implemented in a single layer QCA and do not require any single or multilayer wire crossing.

Energy recovery clocking is an ultimate solution to the ultra low power sequential digital circuit design. In this paper, we present a new slave latch for a sense-amplifier based flip-flop (SAFF). Energy recovery sinusoidal clock is applied to the low power SAFF. Extensive simulation based comparisons among reported and proposed SAFF are carried-out at 90 nm CMOS technology node. The proposed flip-flop operating with energy recovery single phase sinusoidal clock shows better performance. The proposed flip-flop also reduces the leakage current and glitch.

We present the outline of the InP HEMT IC technology. This technology realizes InP HEMT digital ICs for 40-Gbit/s optical fiber communication systems through the integration of 0.1-μm-gate-length HEMTs, vertical diodes, capacitors, and WSiN resistors with two level interconnections. This paper describes the high-speed digital IC circuit design and fabrication in InP HEMT technology for 40-Gbit/s/channel optical communication systems. Some results on InP HEMTs' reliability are also covered. Basic circuit design techniques utilizing SCFL topology and fundamental circuit elements of the selector and D-type flip-flop are discussed in detail. The basic digital ICs of MUX, D-FF, and DEMUX ICs fabricated with 0.1-μm-gate InP HEMTs successfully operated up to 50 Gbit/s in the packaged modules. These IC modules offer large speed margins for the 43-Gbit/s OTU-3 data rate. In order to develop cost-effective optical transmitters and receivers, we designed a PLL-based CDR with a full-rate architecture. The fully monolithic integrated CDR exhibited error-free operation for 231-1 PRBS data signal at the OTU-3 bit rate of 43.0184 Gbit/s. Four-bit MUX and DEMUX ICs are other key components, and could be implemented by using InP HEMT technology. Additionally, we describe InP-IC fabrication technology with two-level inter-connection. This is already fully matured for 40-Gbit/s SSI fabrication. The uniform FET characteristics and high-yield passive component fabrication technologies support this degree of maturity. InP HEMT lifetime is 107 hours at l00°C. These results prove the InP HEMT IC fabrication technology presented here, to be highly reliable. These investigation show that robust performance and yield when realizing SSI and MSI 40-Gbit/s functions.
