Adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) is a superconductor logic family which can operate with low switching energy. So far, we designed a 4-bit microprocessor using AQFP logic and demonstrated this microprocessor at a low frequency. In order to operate AQFP microprocessors at high frequencies, it is necessary to operate AQFP datapaths with feedback loops with small clock skews. In a previous study, we studied AQFP datapaths with feedback loops adopting 4-phase clocking, in which AQFP circuits are driven by a pair of AC excitation currents with a phase separation of 90°. However, we have not yet studied AQFP datapaths with feedback loops adopting delay-line clocking, which is a low-latency clocking scheme. In the present study, we study AQFP datapaths with feedback loops adopting delay-line clocking. AQFP datapaths adopting delay-line clocking are divided into several pipeline stages. Registers are placed between stages so that data can propagate correctly. Numerical simulation shows that a looped buffer chain that is divided into four stages and is driven by delay-line clocking can operate at 5 GHz. |
