Abstract

Digital to analog converters based on the Josephson effect are promising for voltage standards, because they produce voltage steps with ultimate precision and stability. We are currently developing an SFQ-Based D/A converter (RSFQ-DA), designed for synthesizing a sinusoidal waveform for metrological applications. In this report, we examine a feasibility of an ac-dc transfer difference measurement for a thermal converter using the RSFQ-DA.
