Foil 16 Superconducting Technology -- Present

From CPS615-Lecture on Performance(end) and Computer Technologies(start) Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 5 September 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 144
1 New ideas have resurrected this concept using RSFQ -- Rapid Single Flux Quantum -- approach
2 This naturally gives a bit which is 0 or 1 (or in fact n units!)
3 This gives interesting circuits of similar structure to CMOS systems but with a clock speed of order 100-300GHz -- factor of 100 better than CMOS which will asymptote at around 1 GHz (= one nanosecond cycle time)
