RSFQ TECHNOLOGY: CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS

DARREN K. BROCK

Rapid Single-Flux-Quantum (RSFQ) logic is a superconductor IC technology that, with only a modest number of researchers worldwide, has produced some of the world's highest performance digital and mixed-signal circuits. This achievement is due, in part, to a constellation of characteristics that manifest themselves at the circuit level – namely, high-speed digital logic at low-power, ideal interconnects, quantum accuracy, scalability, and simplicity of fabrication. A necessary key to translating these advantages to the system-level involves understanding the I/O, synchronization, and packaging issues associated with a cryogenic technology. The objective of this paper is to review the status of current RSFQ circuit-level infrastructure components and their potential impact on system-level applications.

RSFQ TECHNOLOGY: PHYSICS AND DEVICES

P. Bunyk, Konstantin K. Likharev, Dmitry Y. Zinoviev

Rapid Single-Flux-Quantum (RSFQ) logic, based on the representation of digital bits by single quanta of magnetic flux in superconducting loops, may combine several-hundred-GHz speed with extremely low power dissipation (close to 10-18 Joule/bit) and very simple fabrication technology. The drawbacks of this technology include the necessity of deep (liquid-helium-level) cooling of RSFQ circuits and the rudimentary level of the currently available fabrication and testing facilities. The objective of this paper is to review RSFQ device physics and also discuss in brief the prospects of future development of this technology in the light of the tradeoff between its advantages and handicaps.
