    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: 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 gate system. The system includes a first input that is configured to provide a first input pulse and a second input that is configured to provide a second input pulse. The system also includes a gate configured to provide a first output pulse at a first output corresponding to a first logic function with respect to the first and second input pulses and based on a positive bias inductor and a first Josephson junction that are each coupled to the first output. The gate is also configured to provide a second output pulse at a second output corresponding to a second logic function with respect to the first and second input pulses and based on a negative bias inductor and a second Josephson junction that are each coupled to the second output.

    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.

    摘要: One embodiment describes a memory cell. The memory cell includes a phase hysteretic magnetic Josephson junction (PHMJJ) that is configured to store one of a first binary logic state corresponding to a binary logic-1 state and a second binary logic state corresponding to a binary logic-0 state in response to a write current that is provided to the memory cell and to generate a superconducting phase based on the stored digital state. 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.
