Operation of a 1-bit quantum flux parametron shift register (latch) by 4-phase 36-GHz clock

Abstract: Abstract-The Quantum Flux Parametron (QFP) is a SFQ-type logic device which uses a single flux quantum (SFQ) to represent 1-bit of information. QFP circuits use a multi-phase external ac power which also acts as the clock for synchronization, hence QFP circuits are highly pipelined. The clock frequency must be increased to improve the throughputs of the circuits, so the control of a high frequency clock is a key technology for the QFP. This paper describes a clock distribution technique which utilizes the char… Show more

“…The shift regis-ter, being more relevant here, is a fast memory for on chip with processing, related to "registers" and cache. It has been demonstrated in RSFQ 39 , RQL 11 , and AQFP 40 . It has also been adapted for memory arrays in processors 10,41 .…”

“…The major problem of QFP-based circuits was high-frequency multi-phase ac power supply (which was later borrowed by RQL). While there were different approaches elaborated for its solution [ 57 , 59 ], finally multi-phase ac biasing was recognized to be an intractable obstacle for the implementation of complex practical high-clock-frequency circuits and the QFP-based approach was abandoned for some years.…”

“…The n-bit ALU critical path is minimized by generating the CARRY bit as soon as possible, in 2 stages, one for an AND operation which controls the passage of the CARRY input, given in (2). and the other for a MAJ operation which Figure 4 shows a micro-photograph of the fabricated circuit.…”
