Present day state of the art in the RSFQ technology

To date, a growing number ( tex2html_wrap_inline1687 ) of different large-scale ( tex2html_wrap_inline1689 Josephson junctions) digital RSFQ devices have been reported to be fully operational at low frequency, but so far only a few of them have been tested at speed. These include the 1024-bit shift register [25], time-to-digital converter [26] and, most notably, analog-to-digital converter [27] built of 117 logic cells (1,778 Josephson junctions) which was fully operational at tex2html_wrap_inline1675 and dissipated tex2html_wrap_inline1693 of power. The digital autocorrelator (total of 1636 junctions) described in Chapter gif, was not fully functional (3 out of 16 channels did not work due to fabrication defects), but demonstrated basic functionality at clock speeds of up to tex2html_wrap_inline1483 .
