Abstract

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the proposed nanotechnologies in the electronics industry which offers a new construction for scheming digital circuits with less energy consumption on the nano-scale and possibly can be an appropriate replacement of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Since shift registers are usually used in the digital circuits designing, its scheming is a very challenging research topic. Therefore, in this paper, firstly a new design of D-flip-flop has been introduced. Then this efficient element is used for designing an optimized Serial-Input-Serial-Output (SISO) and Parallel-Input-Parallel-Output (PIPO) shift registers based on QCA technology. Simulations using QCADesigner computational tool are done to check the performance of the suggested designs. They have shown that the suggested designs are stable and applicable structures regarding area, delay and complexity.
