Magnetically coupled quantum-flux-latch with wide operation margins

Naoki Tsuji, Naoki Takeuchi, Tatsuya Narama +3 more

Abstract We have been developing adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) circuits as an ultra-low-power superconductor logic for energy-efficient computing. In a previous study, we proposed and demonstrated a quantum-flux-latch (QFL), which is a compact and compatible latch for AQFP logic. The QFL is composed of an AQFP buffer gate and a storage loop, which are directly connected to each other. However, the operation margins were not sufficiently wide due to a trade-off between the operation margins of the storage loop and that of the buffer gate. In this present study, we propose a magnetically coupled QFL (MC-QFL), where the storage loop and the buffer gate are physically separated and magnetically coupled to each other to eliminate the trade-off in the operation margins. The simulation results showed that the critical parameter margin of the MC-QFL is twice as large as that of the previously designed QFL. For comparison, we fabricated and demonstrated both the previously designed QFL and the newly designed MC-QFL. The measurement results showed that the MC-QFL has wider operation margins compared with the previously designed QFL.

Majority Gate-Based Feedback Latches for Adiabatic Quantum Flux Parametron Logic

Naoki TSUJI, Naoki Takeuchi, Yuki Yamanashi +2 more

We have studied ultra-low-power superconductor circuits using adiabatic quantum flux parametron (AQFP) logic. Latches, which store logic data in logic circuits, are indispensable logic elements in the realization of AQFP computing systems. Among them, feedback latches, which hold data by using a feedback loop, have advantages in terms of their wide operation margins and high stability. Their drawbacks are their large junction counts and long latency. In this paper, we propose a majority gate-based feedback latch for AQFP logic with a reduced number of junctions. We designed and fabricated the proposed AQFP latches using a standard National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) process. The measurement results showed that the feedback latches operate with wide operation margins that are comparable with circuit simulation results.
