A reversible majority voter circuit and applications

Abstract

Reversible logic is becoming a more and more attractive option to traditional logic, due to its potential to reduce heat dissipation. However traditional circuit design techniques can not always be translated to reversible circuits, and so new techniques for e.g. fault tolerance must be developed. We present a design for a reversible majority voter circuit which has applications not only in the development of fault tolerant reversible circuits, but also in areas such as data mining and classification.
