Building Toffoli Network for Reversible Logic Synthesis Based on Swapping Bit Strings

Dhaka University Journal of Science, Vol. 55, No. 2, pp. 153-156, 2007 In this paper, we have implemented and designed a sorting network for reversible logic circuits synthesis in terms of n*n Toffoli gates. The algorithm presented in this paper constructs a Toffoli Network based on swapping bit strings. Reduction rules are then applied by simple template matching and removing useless gates from the network. Random selection of bit strings and reduction of control inputs are used to minimize both the number of gates and gate width. The method produces near optimal results for up to 3-input 3-output circuits.
