Low-Voltage Bit-Serial Single-Flux-Quantum Microprocessor for Integrating Memories

Ryo Sato, Takata Kensuke, Masamitsu Tanaka +3 more

We report an energy-efficient bit-serial microprocessor based on single-flux-quantum (SFQ) logic, called CORE e3, using a low-voltage bias technique. This microprocessor was designed for integrating memories, and we developed it to investigate the efficient use of hardware and energy, using the low-voltage rapid single-flux-quantum (LV-RSFQ) technique. We implemented the CORE e3 and its test circuit using a 10-kA/cm2Nb process. We confirmed via logic simulations that all instructions were executed correctly with a 1-GHz system clock. We expect a 3.51 fold improvement in energy efficiency.

Trend and Perspective of Microprocessors Based on Single-flux-quantum Logic

Masamitsu Tanaka, Akira Fujimaki, Koji Inoue

The recent trend and perspectives for high-performance microprocessors based on superconductor single-fluxquantum (SFQ) logic families are described. The rapid single-flux-quantum (RSFQ) and its energy-efficient derivatives are promising as a next-generation digital circuit technology for very-large-scale integration in the post-Moore's era because of the capability of ultrahigh-frequency operation over 100 GHz and low energy consumption. Several ongoing research projects as well as results reported, including several demonstrations of SFQ-based microprocessors and their components, are reviewed.
