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.

Abstract. In this paper, we investigate the application of the asynchronous logic approach for the realization of ultra high-speed digital electronics with high complexity. We evaluate the possible physical, technological, and schematical origins of restrictions limiting such an application, and propose solutions for their overcoming. Although our considerations are based on the rapid single-flux quantum technique, the conclusions derived can be generalized about any type of digital information coding.
