A Large-Scale Packet Switch System and 60-Gbps Pulse Arbitration Circuit Operation Using Single Flux Quantum Technology

Shinichi Yorozu, 義男 亀田, Shuichi Tahara

We evaluate the performance of a single flux quantum (SFQ) circuit and discuss its possible system-level application. First, we describe an optical-electrical-SFQ hybrid router system that is divided into three functions: an SFQ packet-routing function, a control function, and an optical transmission function. For the packet-switching core, we have developed a packet-switching architecture based on an internal speedup time-shifted Batcher Banyan approach. Our simulated results show that this architecture should provide good scalability and a low packet-loss rate. Additionally, we have fabricated an asynchronous pulse arbitration circuit. This circuit is a key component in our packet-switching system. The circuit synchronizes two asynchronous incoming signals without any global clock signals. It consists of a clock generator based on a ring oscillator and data latches. By measuring the average output voltage of the Josephson junction, we confirmed the output signal control by the clock at over 60 Gbps throughput.

Progress of Single Flux Quantum Packet Switch Technology

Shinichi Yorozu, Y. Kameda, Y. Hashimoto +3 more

With regard to sustaining future capacity of network traffic, the current hardware technology has a big bottleneck in terms of power consumption and insufficient operation speed. To overcome this bottleneck, we have developed a single flux quantum (SFQ) packet-switching circuit. We report recent progress in developing the SFQ packet-switching application. First, we demonstrate a 40 GHz, 160 Gb/s, 4 /spl times/ 4 packet switching circuit, which is currently the fastest clock frequency reported packet switch. Then, we describe a currently possible switching module using SFQ technology. Finally, we consider how SFQ technology can be used to scale the packet-switching capacity up to 100 Tbps.
