Abstract

A design methodology for reversible logic circuits is pre- sented. Any boolean function can be built using the three fundamental building blocks of Feynman.The implementation of these logic gates into electronic circuitry is based on c-MOS technology and pass-transistor de- sign.We present a chip containing single Feynman gates,as well as an application:a chip containing a fully reversible four-bit adder.We pro- pose a generalization of the Feynman gates:the reversible control gates.
