Application of CSMT gate for efficient reversible realization of binary to gray code converter circuit

Technological innovations of this era demand the application of reversible logic approach to design various low power loss digital systems. Reversible designs are widely applicable in the area of quantum computing, low power CMOS designs, optical computing, bioinformatics etc. This technique of digital circuit designing aims to produce ideally zero power loss electronic devices. In this paper, we have proposed a new reversible gate of 4×4 size named as CSMT gate. Here, the application of CSMT gate is limited to design an optimized binary to gray code converter. The proposed design of the converter is optimized as compared to the existing designs. The optimization of the designs are compared on some selected performance parameters such as reversible gates used, garbage output generated, constant input signals applied and quantum cost of the digital circuit.
