Background: The advancement of VLSI in the application of emerging nanotechnology explores quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) which has got wide acceptance owing to its ultra-high operating speed, extremely low power dissipation with a considerable reduction in feature size. The QCA architectures are emerging as a potential alternative to the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Experimental: Since the register unit has a crucial role in digital data transfer between the electronic devices, such study leading to the design of cost-efficient and highly reliable QCA register is expected to be a prudent area of research. A thorough survey on the existing literature shows that the generic models of Serial-in Serial Out (SISO), Serial-in-Parallel-Out (SIPO), Parallel-In- Serial-Out (PISO) and Parallel-in-Parallel-Out (PIPO) registers are inadequate in terms of design parameters like effective area, delay, O-Cost, Costα, etc. Results: This work introduces a layered T gate for the design of the D flip flop (LTD unit), which can be broadly used in SISO, SIPO, PISO, and PIPO register designs. For detection and reporting of high susceptible errors and defects at the nanoscale, the reliability and defect tolerant analysis of LTD unit are also carried out in this work. The QCA design metrics for the general register layouts using LTD unit is modeled. Conclusion: Moreover, the cost metrics for the proposed LTD layouts are thoroughly studied to check the functional complexity, fabrication difficulty and irreversible power dissipation of QCA register layouts.

This paper presents a novel parallel quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) encoding algorithm with low complexity, which is compatible with the 5th generation (5G) new radio (NR). Basing on the algorithm, we propose a high area-efficient parallel encoder with compatible architecture. The proposed encoder has the advantages of parallel encoding and pipelined operations. Furthermore, it is designed as a configurable encoding structure, which is fully compatible with different base graphs of 5G LDPC. Thus, the encoder architecture has flexible adaptability for various 5G LDPC codes. The proposed encoder was synthesized in a 65 nm CMOS technology. According to the encoder architecture, we implemented nine encoders for distributed lifting sizes of two base graphs. The eperimental results show that the encoder has high performance and significant area-efficiency, which is better than related prior art. This work includes a whole set of encoding algorithm and the compatible encoders, which are fully compatible with different base graphs of 5G LDPC codes. Therefore, it has more flexible adaptability for various 5G application scenarios.


The fundamental target of this paper comprises of the domino rationale way and checking path. A fast wide range parallel contradicts that accomplishes high working frequencies throughout an account pipeline segment demeanor utilizing just three undemanding redundant CMOS-rationale module types. The three essential module types are isolated by D flip failure. The three element types are set in an exceedingly dull constitution in the tallying way and Domino Logic way. Enthusiastic domino rationale circuits are broadly utilized in present day computerized VLSI circuits. These dynamic circuits are utilized in superior structures. Along these lines simultaneously refreshing the tally state with a consistent deferral at all tallying way module regarding the clock edge. This construction is versatile to self-assertive portion counter widths utilizing just the three module types. The deferral counter is contained the underlying module admittance times only, three-info AND-entryway delay and a D-type flip-flop. The motivation behind the project is to diminish the Power utilization and CMOS Technology in the counter way and Domino rationale way by utilizing DSCH in Microwind Tool. The proposed Counter way is structured utilizing 0.10µm TSMC Digital cell library and its expended 0.215mW.

One of the paramount issues in the field of VLSI design is the rapid increase in power consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to develop power-efficient circuits. Here, three new simple architectures are presented for a Dynamic Double Edge Triggered Flip-flop named as Transistor Count Reduction Flip-flop, S-TCRFF (Series Stacking in TCRFF) and FST in TCRFF (Forced Stacking of Transistor in TCRFF). The first one features a dynamic design comprising of transmission gate in which total transistor count has greatly reduced without affecting the logic, thereby attaining better power and speed performance. For the reduction of static power, two types of stacking called series and forced transistor stacking are applied. The circuits are simulated using Cadence Virtuoso in 45[Formula: see text]nm CMOS technology with a power supply of 1[Formula: see text]V at 500[Formula: see text]MHz when input switching activity is 25%. The simulated results indicated that the new designs (TCRFF, S-TCRFF and FST in TCRFF) excelled in different circuit performance indices like Power-Delay-Product (PDP), Energy-Delay-Product (EDP), average and leakage power with less layout area compared with the performance of nine recently proposed FF designs. The improvement in PDPdq value was up to 89.2% (TCRFF), 89.9% (S-TCRFF) and 90.3% (FST in TCRFF) with conventional transmission gate FF (TGFF).

A novel area-efficient switching scheme is proposed for the successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The capacitor-splitting structure, charge-average switching technique, and [Formula: see text] (equal to [Formula: see text]/4) are combined together and optimized to realize the proposed switching scheme. [Formula: see text] is only used in the last two bit cycles, which affects the ADC accuracy little and reduces capacitor area by half. It achieves a 98% less switching energy and an 87.5% less capacitor area compared with the conventional switching method. In addition, the DAC output common-mode voltage is approximately constant. Thus, the proposed switching method is a good tradeoff among power consumption, capacitor area, DAC output common-mode voltage, and ADC accuracy. The proposed SAR ADC is simulated in 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 0.6[Formula: see text]V and at a sampling rate of 20[Formula: see text]kS/s. The signal-to-noise-distortion ratio (SNDR) and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) are 58.2 and 73.7[Formula: see text]dB, respectively. The effective number of bits (ENOB) is 9.4. It consumes 42[Formula: see text]nW, resulting in a figure-of-merit (FoM) of 3.11 fJ/conversion-step.

In this paper, a compact and low-power true single-phase flip-flop (FF) design with fully static operations is presented. The design is developed by using various circuit-reduction schemes and features a hybrid logic style employing both pass transistor logic (PTL) and static complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic to reduce circuit complexity. These circuit optimization measures pay off in various aspects, including smaller clock-to-Q (CQ) delay, lower average power, lower leakage power, and smaller layout area; and the transistor-count is only 17. Fabricated in TSMC 180 nm CMOS technology, it reduces by over 29% the chip area compared to the conventional transmission gate FF (TGFF). To further show digital circuit/system level advantages, a multi-mode shift register has been realized. Experimental measurement results at 1.8 V/4 MHz show that, compared with the TGFF design, the proposed design saves 64.7% of power consumption while reducing chip area by 26.2%.
