  • Patent number: 11309479
    Abstract: A within-chip magnetic field control device is formed in proximity to a Josephson Junction (JJ) structure. The within-chip magnetic field control device includes wiring structures that are located laterally adjacent to the JJ structure. In some embodiments, the magnetic field control device also includes, in addition to the wiring structures, a conductive plate that is connected to the wiring structures and is located beneath the JJ structure. Use of electrical current through the wiring structures induces, either directly or indirectly, a magnetic field into the JJ structure. The strength of the field can be modulated by the amount of current passing through the wiring structures. The magnetic field can be turned off as needed by ceasing to allow current to flow through the wiring structures.

  • Patent number: 11276912
    Abstract: A high input impedance magnetic balun/transformer having a phase balancing network (PBN) and method of operating. The balun is fully configurable and trimmable post fabrication using independently adjustable resistive and reactive parts by changing the resistance of a programmed transistor, e.g., NMOS. Parallel connected legs each having a field effect transistors (FETs) that make up NMOS device alter the impedance at the balun output terminals. The ground terminal of a secondary winding or coil at an unbalanced, single-ended side is connected to a phase balancing network. The phase balancing network includes at least two parallel legs, each leg having a resistive element in the form of a transistor device and at least one leg including a capacitive element. The transistor device at a leg can be operated in a linear region to trim the resistance and capacitances at the unbalanced side in order to achieve proper phase balancing and amplitude matching.

  • Publication number: 20210342121
    Abstract: An improved electronic mixed mode multiplier and accumulate circuit for artificial intelligence and computing system applications that perform vector-vector, vector-matrix and other multiply-accumulate computations. The circuit is provided is a high resolution, high linearity, low area, low power multiply—accumulate (MAC) unit to interface with a memory device for storing computation output results. The MAC unit uses a less number of current carrying elements resulting in much lower integrated circuit area, and provides a tight matching between the current elements thus preserving inherent linearity requirements due to current mode operation. Further the MAC performs current scaling using switches and current division where the current switches occupy minimum size transistors requiring a small area to implement that renders it compatible with MRAM such as a magnetic tunnel junction device.
