Abstract :
A new current-injection-type Josephson three-input AND gate is analyzed. This ANO 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 RCL 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.
