Abstract(in English) Recently, a lot of researches on designing digital circuits by using SFQ logic circuits have been carried out extensively. We have been developing SFQ microprocessors based on the CORE architecture. In our SFQ microprocessor design, a bit-serial architecture, where the width of the data processed at the same time is 1-bit, has been used up to now to simplify the hardware complexity. In order to increase the performance of the microprocessor, however, we have to increase the width of the data processed at the same time, i.e. bit-slice width. In this paper, we present an architecture of bit-slice adder. In the proposed bit-slice adder, a logarithmic carry look-ahead adder architecture (CLA) was adapted to generate the carries, where the carries generated in the bit-slice data are fed back into the following bit-slice data internally to increase the throughput of the operation. We will show dependences of the operating time and the hardware cost of the bit-slice adder on the bit-slice width. We have also implemented a 4b bit-slice adder using SRL 2.5kA/cm^2 niobium standard process, and demonstrated its high-speed operation.
