Recent advancements in CMOS technology have led to the implementation of new computational designs with extremely small size and high device density. However, CMOS technology is reaching its limits. Currently, scientists and researchers are exploring various new technologies that may replace CMOS when its limit is reached in the future. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one of the novel nanotechnologies that is being considered as a possible replacement for CMOS. It has great potential for very dense memory and low power logic based on single electron effects in quantum dots and molecules. QCA relies on novel design concepts to exploit new physical phenomena such as coulombic interactions and implement unique paradigms such as memory-in-motion and processing-by-wire. This thesis presents a first Altera implementation of Stratix Logic Array Block (LAB) architecture using QCA technology along with simulation results. The design is modeled and simulated using QCADesigner software. A novel Logic Array Block in QCA is developed by implementing Look-Up Tables (LUTs). In the design of the LUT, QCADesigner software is utilized to design and simulate a four-to-sixteen decoder, 16-bit memory, and an output circuit to implement a LUT. The LUT design comprises of QCA memory cells with low read latency. The proposed LAB includes Look-up Tables, D flip-flops, multiplexers and various logic gates that are designed and tested using QCADesigner. The LAB designed in this work comprises of 25,000 QCA cells approximately and has a latency of 17 clock cycles. The LAB design is compared with the previous designs of Configurable Logic Blocks. The results show that the proposed LAB provides high degree of performance, simplicity, and optimization of design area compared to the other designs.</p><p>This thesis also presents an implementation of a novel Programmable Switch Matrix using QCA technology.</p> 2011 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1304616947 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1304616947 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
