AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing Josephson junction-based static random access memory (SRAM) is difficult to achieve fast, dense and support multiple read and write ports sufficiently, and the manufacturing process is incompatible with the process of high-performance logic circuits.

Method used

A memory device based on the Josephson junction is designed, including multiple electrically coupled superconducting loops. The storage and elimination of magnetic flux quantums is achieved through the combination of control signals and single-flux quantum (SFQ) pulses, supporting series arrangement and wave pipeline operation, and synchronous control is used using the Josephson transmission line and the global resonant clock network.

Benefits of technology

It realizes high-performance static random access memory (JSRAM), supports multiple read and write ports, has a density of up to 5MB/cm2, a clock rate of 30GHz, and can be manufactured using the same process as high-performance SFQ logic circuits, avoiding complex conversion processes and physical components.

Abstract

Memory devices based on Josephson junctions and methods of using the same are described herein. An example of a Josephson junction-based memory device includes a plurality of superconducting loops. Each superconducting loop includes at least one Josephson junction. The plurality of superconducting loops are electrically coupled. The plurality of superconducting loops includes a plurality of input loops, a plurality of readout loops, and at least one shared loop. The plurality of superconducting loops are configured to store or eliminate magnetic flux quanta in the one or more superconducting loops in response to a combination of a control signal and a single flux quantum (SFQ) pulse.
