Abstract

Reversible logic has become one of the most promising research areas in the past few decades and has found its applications in several technologies; such as low-power CMOS, nanocomputing and optical computing. This paper presents improved and efficient reversible logic implementations for Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) adder as well as Carry Skip BCD adder. It has been shown that the modified designs outperform the existing ones in terms of number of gates, number of garbage outputs, delay, and quantum cost. In order to show the efficiency of the proposed designs, lower bounds of the reversible BCD adders in terms of gates and garbage outputs are proposed as well.
