A versatile current-switched gate is described which consists of two Josephson tunnel junctions and a small resistor in a loop. The directly combined bias and control currents flow through one junction in the zero-voltage state, causing the switching. The second junction and the resistor provide isolation between input and output after switching. The switching speed of a few tens of picoseconds and the microwatt power dissipation are comparable to those of other present designs. The design is particularly simple, compact, and easy to fabricate.
