Abstract

In the scientific and engineering domain of nanotechnology, the goal is to make highly efficient devices smaller. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) are a new technology that may be used at high speeds with minimal power consumption and a straightforward design. We design a novel 4-bit memory unit in this study, focusing on effective read and write operations. Our effort focuses on designing a high-density, low-power memory tile that can scale for next-generation computer systems. In order to lessen the dynamic performance cost, we employed D flip-flops that were equipped with read/write control cells. Simulation in QCA Designer-E confirm that the revised architecture results in a 16.67% drop in area utilization and a 9% decrease in the total number of cells.These findings demonstrate notable gains in performance and cost-effectiveness, highlighting QCA’s promise as a workable option for cutting-edge, low-power memory systems.
