In this paper the novel coplanar circuits for full adder implementation in
Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology are presented. We propose a
novel one-bit full adder circuit and then utilize this new circuit to
implement novel four-bit Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) circuit in the QCA
technology. The QCA Designer tool version 2.0.1 is utilized to implement the
designed QCA full adder circuits. The implementation results show that the
designed QCA full adder circuits have an improvement compared to other QCA
full adder circuits.
Keywords: Full adder, quantum-dot cellular automata, coplanar circuit, ripple carry adder, high-performance design
