We have been developing the adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) as an ultra-low-power superconductor logic. In a previous study, we proposed and demonstrated the 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 back actions from neighboring gates. In the present study, we propose a magnetically coupled QFL (MC-QFL), where the storage loop and the buffer gate are physically separated and magnetically coupled with each other so as to avoid 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 MC-QFL. The measurement results showed that the MC-QFL has wider operation margins compared with the previously designed QFL. |
