Abstract: A current access bubble memory system includes a method and device for propagating and switching isolated bubbles within a plurality of orthogonal propagation channels. The device includes two orthogonal arrays of parallel current conductors oriented at 45.degree. angles to the two orthogonal bubble translation axes. The conductors in each array are regularly spaced a distance S apart from center to center. The first array of conductors are connected in parallel to a first current source and the second array of conductors are connected in parallel to a second current source. The propagation channels are defined by confining means to have a width d where d is the bubble diameter. The centerline of the channels are spaced a distance of about .sqroot.2 S/8 from the center of adjacent conductor intersections. Bubble translation occurs through sequential activation of the two bipolar current sources. Use of specific activation sequences allow selective control of the bubble propagation path at channel intersections. The method provides for flexible design of memory configurations with all accessing and switching functions controllable by means of specific activation sequences of the two current sources.
