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.

摘要: Non-destructive read out (NDRO) circuits are provided for use in reciprocal quantum logic (RQL) superconducting systems. Each NDRO circuit includes a “body” circuit that provides a single or multi-state sub-critical bias current to one or many independent “tail” circuitries. Each “tail” has minimal effect on the “body” thereby preventing any interference or destruction to the state of the “body” circuitry. The circuits reduce device count and thereby increase circuit density, simplify and reduce the cost of fabrication, and provide functionality not available in existing designs, such as the ability to write a state and read it in the same operation cycle. The NDRO circuits provide more compact unit cells useful in memory or logic arrays, demanding fewer resources with increased functionality. The circuits also provide compact cells for AND, AND-OR, A-NOT-B, inverter, multiplexer, and demultiplexer gates.

摘要: An isochronous receiver system is provided and includes a single flux quantum (SFQ) receiver to receive a data signal from a transmission line. The single flux quantum receiver then converts the data signal to an SFQ signal. The system also includes a converter system to convert the SFQ signal to a reciprocal quantum logic (RQL) signal and to phase-align the RQL signal with a sampling phase of an AC clock signal.

摘要: One example includes an isochronous receiver system. The system includes a pulse receiver configured to receive an input data signal from a transmission line and to convert the input data signal to a pulse signal. The system also includes a converter system comprising a phase converter system. The phase converter system includes a plurality of pulse converters associated with a respective plurality of sampling windows across a period of an AC clock signal. At least two of the sampling windows overlap at any given phase of the AC clock signal, such that the converter system is configured to generate an output pulse signal that is phase-aligned with at least one of a plurality of sampling phases of the AC clock signal based on associating the pulse signal with at least two of the sampling windows.

摘要: One example includes a superconducting clock conditioning system. The system includes a plurality of inductive stages. Each of the plurality of inductive stages includes an inductive signal path that includes at least one inductor and a Josephson junction. The superconducting clock conditioning system is configured to receive an input AC clock signal and to output a conditioned AC clock signal having an approximately square-wave characteristic and having a peak amplitude that is less than a peak amplitude of the input AC clock signal.

摘要: One embodiment describes a Josephson current source system. The system includes a flux-shuttle loop that is inductively coupled with an AC input signal. The flux-shuttle loop includes a plurality of Josephson junctions spaced about the flux-shuttle loop and being configured, when activated, to sequentially trigger the plurality of Josephson junctions about the flux-shuttle loop in response to the AC input signal to generate a DC output current provided through an output inductor. The system also includes a flux injector that is configured to selectively activate and deactivate the flux-shuttle loop in response to an input signal to control an amplitude of the DC output current.

The memory cell also includes a superconducting read-select device that is configured to implement a read operation in response to a read current that is provided to the memory cell. The memory cell further includes at least one Josephson junction configured to provide an output based on the superconducting phase of the PHMJJ during the read operation, the output corresponding to the stored digital state.
