Conclusion

An effective RSFQ implementation of a 1-bit all-digital ultra-wide-band autocorrelator with double oversampling has been developed. With 22 Josephson junctions per stage of the delay line and 5 junctions in each of 10 low-power binary counters (the last of which has 2 extra junctions for SFQ to DC conversion), it uses only tex2html_wrap_inline2703 Josephson junctions per channel. Most of the power is dissipated in the biasing resistors of the delay line, resulting in consumption of only tex2html_wrap_inline2483 per stage. By lowering the bias voltage this power can be further reduced to around tex2html_wrap_inline2635 per stage. We have successfully tested a 16-stage autocorrelator delay line (alone and integrated with a tex2html_wrap_inline2709 array of T flip-flops) at low frequencies and an array of 8 low-power T flip-flop binary counters at frequencies of up to tex2html_wrap_inline1481 .
