Elimination of Static Hazards in Asynchronous Sequential Circuits using Quantum dot Cellular Automata

Abstract

There is nowhere else in emerging technology, but in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata, one can find high speed, low power operation, and high packaging density, which deals with electrostatic interaction between electrons within a cell. Literature survey lacks in hazards free design of QCA circuit. Hazards create ambiguous and unpredictable output, which can be avoided. This work considers both hazards and hazards-free asynchronous sequential circuits; both are compared in terms of kink energy, and a better one has been proposed. The circuit simulation has been verified in the QCADesigner tool.
