Superconductive circuit level converter
A binary circuit is provided having a first and second Josephson device connected in series, each of the devices exhibiting a superconductive state and a resistive state. A first circuit is connected in parallel with the first device and has current flowing therein when the first device switches to the resistive state. A second circuit is connected in parallel with the second device and has current flowing therein when the second device switches to the resistive state. Each of these circuits has a common connection between the first and second Josephson devices. Control current means are provided associated with each of the Josephson devices for selectively switching the devices to the resistive state.
