  • Soliton sampler
    Patent number: 4533840
    Abstract: The invention is an all-soliton sampler for accessing very high speed circuits. A soliton is switched in two parallel branches, one including the device-under-test and the other including a programmable delay line implemented in soliton devices. The outputs of these two branches are used as controls to a soliton comparator which, in turn, controls a Josephson detector gate. This circuit permits a relatively slow rise time external trigger pulse to initiate an extremely narrow sampling pulse.
