This paper implements and analyzes logically the Borrow Look-ahead Subtracter using Borrow Generator and Borrow Propagator. In subtracting calculation, we improve the calculating efficiency with using 4-bit subtracter which has Borrow Look-ahead Subtracters connection, and show that this is compatible with adder using the concept of Carry Generator and Carry Propagator. This subtracter may be useful in frequent subtracting calculation. We think this approach makes it possible to implement simple ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) with combining the concept of Borrow Look-ahead Subtracter and Carry Look-ahead Adder.

We have designed a 32-bit RISC microprocessor with 16/32-bit fixed-point DSP functionality. This processor, called YRD-5, combines both general-purpose microprocessor and digital signal processor (DSP) functionality using the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design principles. It has functional units for arithmetic operation, digital signal processing (DSP) and memory access. They operate in parallel in order to remove stall cycles after DSP and load/store instructions with one or more issue latency cycles. High performance was achieved with these parallel functional units while adopting a sophisticated 5-stage pipeline structure and an improved DSP unit.

We have simulated and laid out a Single Flux Quantum(SFQ) AND gate for Arithmetic Logic Unit by using XIC, WRspice and Lmeter. SFQ AND gate circuit is a combination of two D Flip-Flop. D Flip-Flop and dc SQUID are the similar shape form the fact that it has the loop inductor and two Josephson junction We obtained perating margins and accomplished layout of the AND gate. We got the margin of $\pm$38%. over. After layout, we drew mask for fabrication of SFQ AND sate. This mask was included AND gate, dcsfq, sfqdc, rs flip-flop and jtl.

In this paper, a vision-based inspection algorithm for checking mark quality on an integrated chip(IC) is proposed. In order to reduce the processing time for inspection, we are implemented image arithmetic unit and binary image projection processor in hardware. By adopting the hardwares, the processing time becomes less one sixth of that in case of using software only.

In this paper, we designed one-dimensional VLSI array with optimal pipeline period for high speed processing fractal image compression. The algorithm is derived which is suitable for VLSI array from axed block partition algorithm. Also the algorithm satisfies high quality of image and high compression-ratio. The designed VLSI array has optimal pipeline relied because the required processing time of PEs is distributed as same as possible. As this result, we can improve the processing speed up to about 3 times. The number of input/output pins can be reduced by sharing the input/output and arithmetic unit of the domain blocks and the range blocks.

In superconductive digital logic circuits, D2 cells can be used to compose a decoder an important component of an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). In this wor, we simulated D2 cell by using WRspice. D2 cell has one input, one switch input, and two outputs (output1 and output2). D2 cell functions in such way that output1 follows the input and output2 is the complement of the input data, when the switch input is "0, ". However, when there is a switch input "1, " the opposite output signals are generated. In this paper, we optimized a D2 cell by using WRspice, and obtained the minimum margin of 26%. Our optimized D2 cell will play a key role in the ALU fabrication.the ALU fabrication.

A 16-bit adiabatic datapath for micro-power RISC processor is designed. The datapath is composed of a 3-read and 1-write multi-port adiabatic register file and an arithmetic and logic unit. A four-phase clock generator is also designed to provide supply clocks fer adiabatic circuits and the driving capability control scheme is proposed. All the clock line charge on the capacitive interconnections is recovered to recycle energy. Adiabatic circuits are designed based on efficient charge recovery logic(ECRL) and are implemented using a 0.35 fm CMOS technology. Functional and energy simulation is carried out to show the feasibility of adiabatic datapath. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the adiabatic datapath including supply clock generator is reduced by a factor of 1.4∼1.5 compared to that of the conventional CMOS.

The Extension of Base is a fundamental Method to expend the moduli in RNS(Residue Number System). RNS has the benefit of parallelism and no carry propagation at each moduli, but division , extension of base and etc. is the problem of RNS in case of the operation speed.Generally this method is applied to system using Mixed Radix Conversion. it appears to decrease the size of Arithmetic Unit, but increasing the time of operation. So in this paper, the Improved Extension of Base is proposed using Chinese Remainder Theorem. it has the comparative small size and Improved speed.

We have designed fabricated, and tested an RSFQ(Rapid Single Flux Quantum) 1-bit ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). The 1-bit ALU was composed of a half adder and three SFQ DC switches. Three DC switches were attached to the two output ports of an ALU for the selection of each function from the available functions that were AND, OR, XOR and ADD. And we also attached two DC switches at the input ports of the half adder so that the input data were controlled using the function generators operating at low speed while we tested the circuit at high speed. The test bandwidth was from 1KHz to 5 ㎓. The chip was tested at the liquid helium temperature of 4.2 K.

We have designed and tested an RSFQ (Rapid Single Flux Quantum) NDRO (Non Destructive Read Out) circuit for the development of a high speed superconducting ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). When designing the NDRO circuit, we used Julia, XIC and Lmeter for the circuit simulations and layouts. We obtained the simulation margins of larger than $\pm$25％. For the tests of NDRO operations, we attached the three DC/SFQ circuits and two SFQ/DC circuits to the NDRO circuit. In tests, we used an input frequency of 1 KHz to generate SFQ Pulses from DC/SFQ circuit. We measured the operation bias margin of NDRO to be $\pm$15％. The circuit was measured at the liquid helium temperature.
