  • Abstract
    A brief background of conventional superconductive random access memories (RAMs) and their drawbacks is given. The original node-pair concept is briefly reviewed, and the principles and operation of a 4.3×109×32-b superconductive node-pair RAM (which is fully accessed by 1280 decoded address lines and is automatically refreshed after each read/write cycle) are discussed at length. An alternative superconductive circuit design which does not need refreshing after each read/write cycle and is well suited for read-only memory (ROM) operation when a room-temperature superconductor becomes available is discussed
