Abstract
Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) consists of nano-scale cells and demands very low power consumption so that it is one of the alternative technologies that can overcome the limits of scaling CMOS technologies. Typical BCD-EXCESS 3 code converters using QCA have not considered the scalability so that the architectures are not suitable for a large scale circuit design. Thus, we design a BCD-EXCESS 3 code converter with scalability using QCADesigner and verify the effectiveness by simulation. Our structure have reduced 32 gates and 7% of garbage space rate compare with typical URG BCD-EXCESS 3 code converter. Also, 1 clock is only needed for circuit expansion of our structure though typical QCA BCD-EXCESS 3 code converter demands 7 clocks.
