Developing / commercializing digital superconductor technology for integration into everyday system HYPRES, Inc., is a superconducting electronics company offering design, development, fabrication, testing, and packaging in a commercial production environment. Launched by a group of former IBM employees who worked on Big Blue's supercomputing initiative in the mid-1980s, the people at Hypres initially focused their products on the test and measurement market, selling components to makers of MRIs and oscilloscopes - later shifting gears intead ro develop technology components for the wireless communications market. Engaged in design, development, fabrication, testing, and packaging of superconducting microelectronics, Hypres offers primary voltage standard chip arrays, primary voltage standard systems with closed-cycle refrigerator, and primary voltage standard systems (liquid helium). Also provided are digital-RF receivers, multi-channel programmable current sources, digital amplifier modules, wide band amplifiers, and shield degaussers. The Hypres's facility also has a superconducting integrated circuit fabrication line and includes thin film and photolithography processing and support functions covering CAD, device testing, and cryogenics development. The companyfurther develops digital superconductor technology, software, and market-ready IP for applications, including mobile broadband, medical imaging, and computing. It serves metrology and other laboratories worldwide.
