US 2026/0161208 A1 · AC POWERED NANO-PROCESSOR

Abstract

An apparatus of an AC-powered nano-processor including AC-powered components in the data path. The AC-powered nano-processor comprising an IQ power supply including one or more pull-up networks having a plurality of quadrature phase signals, wherein a first quadrature phase signal of the plurality of quadrature phase signals is a power signal and a second quadrature phase signal of the plurality of quadrature phase signals is a gating signal; and an AC logic circuit coupled to the IQ power supply, wherein the AC logic circuit is powered by the IQ power supply. The AC logic circuit includes AC-powered logic gates such as AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, AC-powered multiplexers, AC-powered demultiplexers, AC-powered ring oscillator, AC-powered register file, AC-powered arithmetic logic unit, AC-powered data memory, AC-powered instruction memory, and AC-powered program counter.
