    摘要: A method for accessing a cache memory which facilitates incremental and store requests off an applied base address request increases the bandwidth of cache via the use of an internal address generation facility built into the memory's decoding circuitry. The introduction of an internal address generation facility simplifies extraneous control of typical requesters built into a memory system. The method also reduces power consumed by requests which exploit the memory's internal address generation facility. Power consumption is further reduced in a set associative cache memory system by enabling one set of sense amplifiers during an incremental fetch.

    摘要: A write circuit for an MJJ-based memory circuit includes first and second current sources configured to generate first and second currents, respectively. The first current imparting an easy axis magnetic field component on an MJJ in a selected memory cell during a write operation. The second current inducing a third current in the selected memory cell that passes through the MJJ, the third current being a seed current for setting a π-state current of the MJJ in a superconducting loop of the selected memory cell. The first current source is configured such that, during the write operation, the MJJ cell transitions: (i) from a π-state, in which a clockwise or counter-clockwise current circulates in the superconducting loop, to a zero-state, in which no current circulates in the superconducting loop, back to the π-state; or (ii) from the zero-state to the π-state; or (iii) from the π-state to the zero-state.

    摘要: A test circuit for detecting a leakage defect in a circuit under test includes a test stimulus circuit operative to drive an otherwise defect-free, characteristically capacitive node in the circuit under test to a prescribed voltage level, and an observation circuit having at least one threshold and adapted for connection with at least one node in the circuit under test. The observation circuit is operative to detect a voltage level of the node in the circuit under test and to generate an output signal indicative of whether the voltage level of the node is less than the threshold. The voltage level of the node being less than the threshold is indicative of a first type of leakage defect, and the voltage level of the node being greater than the threshold is indicative of a second type of leakage defect.
