A large number of researches on designing digital circuits by using SFQ logic circuits have been undertaken extensively. We have been developing SFQ microprocessors. In our demonstrated SFQ microprocessors, bit serial architectures were used. In order to increase the performance of the microprocessors, we have designed a bit-slice adder toward introduction of a bit-slice architecture. In this paper, we present a bit-parallel, serial, and slice architectures, and we compare and evaluate the operating times and circuit sizes of the adders based on these architectures. We also report design of a 2-bit bit-slice adder using AIST 10 kA/cm^2 niobium advanced process, and demonstration of its high-speed operation.

Design Method of Single Flux Quantum Logic Circuits Using Dynamically Reconfigurable Logic Gates

Shohei Nishimoto

In this study, we designed and tested dynamically reconfigurable AND/OR and NAND/NOR single flux quantum (SFQ) logic gates. The measured dc bias margins at low frequency were 99%-126% and 121%-144% for AND/OR and NAND/NOR gates, respectively. The experimentally confirmed maximum operating frequencies of the AND/OR and NAND/NOR gates were 36 and 24 GHz, respectively. We investigated a circuit design method that enables the efficient design of SFQ logic circuits by using dynamically reconfigurable SFQ logic gates. The logic circuits were designed with a small number of gates using the input data pattern dependence of the Boolean function and reconfiguring the dynamically reconfigurable SFQ logic gates. As a case study, we designed and tested a bit-serial SFQ full adder using the investigated circuit design method. Compared with the conventional bit-serial SFQ full adder, the delay of the proposed full adder was reduced by 27%, assuming a clock frequency of 20 GHz. We confirmed correct operation of the adder with a low-speed test.
