    摘要: Edge-sensitive, state-based single flux quantum (SFQ) based circuitry and related methods convert return-to-zero (RZ) or non-return-to-zero (NRZ) encoded SFQ-pulse-based signals to bilevel NRZ phase signals that can subsequently be converted to bilevel voltage signals by an output amplifier (OA). The SFQ-based circuitry can be integrated with a current amplification stage of a driver that can be coupled to a stage of the OA. The SFQ-based circuitry can be made to be compatible with RQL-encoded input signals that can be either RZ or NRZ The SFQ-based circuitry can thus be compatible with both wave-pipelined (WPL) and phasemode (PML) RQL circuitry. Because the SFQ-based circuitry and related methods are edge-sensitive and state-based, they can function at system clock rates in excess of 1 GHz with reduced glitches and improved bit error rates as compared to other superconducting RZ-NRZ conversion circuitry and methods.

    摘要: One embodiment includes a superconducting gate memory circuit. The circuit includes a Josephson D-gate circuit configured to set a digital state as one of a first data state and a second data state in response to a write enable single flux quantum (SFQ) pulse provided on a write enable input and a respective presence of or absence of a write data SFQ pulse provided on a data write input. The circuit also includes a storage loop coupled to the Josephson D-gate. The storage loop can be configured to store the digital state and to readout the digital state at an output in response to a read enable SFQ pulse provided on a read enable input and a read data SFQ pulse provided on a read data input.
