摘要：Everyday new technology which is faster, smaller and more complex than its predecessor is being developed. The increase in clock frequency to achieve greater speed and increase in number of transistors packed onto a chip to achieve complexity of a conventional system results in increased power consumption. Reversible logic is gaining interest in the recent past due to its less heat dissipating characteristics. It has been proved that any Boolean function can be implemented using reversible gates. Reversible logic has shown potential to have extensive applications in future emerging technologies such as quantum computing, optical computing, quantum dot cellular automata as well as ultra low power VLSI circuits, DNA computing to produce zero power dissipation under ideal conditions. This paper proposes a reversible design of a 16 bit ALU. This ALU consists of eight operations, three or four arithmetic and four or five logical operations. The arithmetic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and the logical operations include NAND, AND, OR, NOT and XOR. The power and dela y analysis of the various sub modules is performed and a comparison with the traditional circuits
