DE Kirichenko, S Sarwana, AF Kirichenko
IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 2011•ieeexplore.ieee.orgWe present a novel, resistor-free approach to dc biasing of RSFQ circuits, known as Energy-
efficient RSFQ (ERSFQ). This biasing scheme does not dissipate energy in the static (non-
active) mode, and dissipates orders of magnitude less power than traditional RSFQ while
operating. Using this approach, we have designed, fabricated and successfully tested at low
and high speed a D flip-flop with complementary outputs and several static frequency
dividers. We present the method, demonstrate experimental results, and discuss future …
