Title: A Josephson current-injection three-input AND gate

Abstract

A new current-injection-type Josephson three-input AND gate is analyzed. This AND gate is experimentally fabricated by standard Pb alloy technology and then successfully operated. It is composed of three resistor-coupled logics (RCL's) and two resistors placed between the RCL gate-current terminals in series. In this circuit, only one RLC is powered by a regulator and the others are powered with the RCL output current of the first RCL through the contact resistors. This circuit configuration offers advantages of low power dissipation and source-resistance area reduction.
