Reversible Realization of Quaternary Decoder, Multiplexer, and Demultiplexer Circuits

—A quaternary reversible circuit is more compact than the corresponding binary reversible circuit in terms of number of input/output lines required. Decoder, multiplexer, and demultiplexer are very important building blocks of digital systems. In this paper, we show reversible realization of these circuits using quaternary shift gates (QSG), quaternary controlled shift gates (QCSG), and quaternary Toffoli gates (QTG). We also show the realization of multi-digit QCSG and QTG using QSGs and QCSG.
