An irreversible circuit is a circuit whose inputs cannot be reconstructed from its outputs.
Such a circuit, of necessity, consumes energy. See also reversible computing

Reversible computing
Reversible computing is a model of computing where the computational process to some extent is reversible, i.e., time-invertible. A necessary condition for reversibility of a computational model is that the transition function mapping states to their successors at a given later time should be...
