Recent Progress in Rapid-Single-Flux-Quantum Circuits

چکیده
We describe recent topics of rapid-single-flux-quantum (RSFQ) circuits. Much higher integration and higher-speed operation are required for commercializing the RSFQ circuits in any application. To satisfy this requirement, we measure several kinds of time fluctuations that possibly limit the integration level and operating speed, and introduce the flexible passive transmission line technology including a multicasting transmitter. In addition, we describe our ongoing applications. A multiple-detectors-system is expected to open a new application field of an RSFQ-based analog-to-digital converter and a digital signal processor. As for a microprocessor application, increased number of arithmetic logic units may be effective for enhancing the computing performances.

A demultiplexer (DMUX) is a key subsystem of rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) circuits and systems in practical applications. High-speed data from RSFQ circuits should be converted into sufficiently low-speed ones for transmission to and processing by room temperature electronics. We designed, fabricated and successfully tested an RSFQ DMUX based on the synchronous shift-and-dump architecture w...
