Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Rapid Single-Flux-Quantum logic circuits operate based on pulse logic at high-speed. To design reliable circuits, we developed automatic placement and routing methods that satisfy the timing constraints for correct operation. We defined a timing fault as an event that pulse arrival at a logic gate in the fabricated chip is delayed or advanced with respect to the cycle assumed in the design. We proposed an algorithm to generate test pattern sequences to detect timing faults. We developed methods for logic simulation and automatic routing by applying our knowledge related to the operation timing of rapid single-flux-quantum circuits obtained through the research task.
