Abstract

A reversible logic circuit and an operation method thereof are provided. The logic circuit includes resistive switching cells, word lines, and bit lines. The word lines and the bit lines are perpendicular to each other. The anode of a resistive switching cell is connected to the word line as a first input terminal to apply logic operating voltage or be grounded. The cathode of a resistive switching cell is connected to the bit line as a second input terminal to apply logic operating voltage or be grounded. When performing reversible logic operation, four levels of resistance states of the resistive switching cell are used as logic outputs to implement single-input NOT and dual-input C-NOT reversible logic functions.
