New Architecture for Multi-stage Interconnection network with QCA

Electronic devices are developing in a remarkable and accelerating manner. The main reason for this is the increase in demand to add additional features and applications to these devices. On the other hand, the technology complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor has reached its physical limits in the manufacture of these electronic chips, which led to emergence of some defects in this technology. All these factors prompted researchers to invent new technologies to confront and reduce these defects. Quantum–Dot –Cellular Automata technology is one of these promising technologies that may replace the technology in the future due to its lower energy consumption and the absence of any current in the design of logical circuits. In this research, a new network architecture for multi-stage interconnection networks is proposed to achieve the required high speed. The presented architecture is implemented with QCA technology using a new switch element as a building block for the network. The proposed network achieves optimization of, 48.69% in the area, 39.83% in cell count, 72.18% in the cost, and 22.22% in the delay time.
