982,203. Superconducting circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. June 28, 1962 [June 29, 1961], No. 24816/62. Heading H3B. A superconductive logical circuit directs the current from a first source 18 between one and the other of two parallel paths under the action of a trigger pulse and the current from a second source 24. The bi-stable device of Fig. 1 has four cryotrons each of which requires a current of two units in its control windings to send it resistive and four unit current sources 18, 24, a bias current supply to terminal 30 and a trigger current supply to terminal 32. If current flows initially with I 2 =1 gate conductor G14 is resistive and hence I 3 = 0 and I 4 = 1. If, now a trigger current is applied to terminal 32, gate conductor G16 becomes resistive and current is transferred from a gate conductor G16 to gate conductor G10. On removal of the trigger current, gate conductor G12 becomes resistive and current changes from gate conductor G12 to gate conductor G14. I 1 is now = 1 and I 3 = 1 leaving the device in its second stable state. A further trigger pulse will now switch the device back in a similar manner. The shift register of Fig. 3 operates in a similar manner except that a shift pulse sets a stage to that state represented by the Iy or Ix current from the previous stage. Cryotrons K52E, K52F and K52G are used to set the stages to zero.
