ABSTRACT:
A superconducting integrated circuit that uses a digital input to rapidly select any one of several thousand quantized output voltages. The voltages are generated directly by microwave synchronized Josephson junctions and are as accurate as the externally generated microwave frequency. The circuit makes possible fast voltage comparisons and the digital synthesis of ultra-accurate ac waveforms whose amplitude derives directly from the internationally accepted definition of the volt.
