A new look at reversible memory elements

Abstract— Although many researchers are investigating techniques to synthesize reversible combinational logic, there is little work in the area of sequential reversible logic. We present an analysis of a basic memory element, the RS-latch, and a number of possible implementations. We then go on to introduce four reversible flip-flop designs based on the reversible RS-latch implementation.
