The document summarizes the design and implementation of a low power reversible arithmetic logic unit (ALU) using parity preserving logic gates. Key points:
1. The ALU design uses parity preserving reversible logic gates to make it fault tolerant and reduce power dissipation.
2. A new 4x4 parity preserving gate is proposed and used in the design along with existing parity preserving gates to reduce gate count and garbage outputs.
3. Simulation results show the proposed ALU can perform 16 logical and 16 arithmetic operations with a gate count of 13, garbage outputs of 28, and constant inputs of 23. This is an improvement over previous designs.
