摘要:Reversible logic circuits have found emerging attention in nanotechnology, quantum computing
and low power CMOS designs. In this paper we present a modular synthesis method to realize a reversible
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) adder/subtractor circuit. We use genetic algorithms and don!ˉt care concept
to design and optimize all parts of a BCD adder circuit in terms of number of garbage inputs/outputs and
the quantum cost. We have also developed and used genetic algorithm-based synthesis software to design
and optimize proper circuits for a reversible BCD adder/subtractor such as full adder, reversible 9!ˉs
complement generator and reversible multiplexer. The results show improvement in the quantum cost, the
number of garbage inputs and outputs.
