New functional elements have been tested for 16 μm-period current-access circuits in single and double mask structures. Improved propagate patterns exhibit 15% operating margins at 1 MHz frequency and 20 mA current. Heat dissipation drops to 0.3 mW per conductor period. In conventional CaGe-garnet films it has been possible to increase the maximum frequency to 1.9 MHz at 60 mA. In the first orthorhombic films to be processed, 4 MHz has been reached already at 20 mA current. High-frequency current-access stretching of bubbles prior to detection is discussed. Operating margins of 10% are obtained up to 700 kHz in a pattern that stretches bubbles normal to their propagation direction. High-frequency writing is obtained by combining a number of field-access generators with an annihilator in the conductor track. A compact current-field-access swap gate allows the closest possible packing of the field-access minor loops. These elements have not yet been combined for the same conductor structure. In principle, however, the functions required for a field and current-access major-minor loop chip are now available.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
