The asynchronous rapid single-flux quantum electronics – a promising alternative for the development of high-performance digital circuits

[摘要] In this paper, we investigate the application of the asynchronous logicapproach for the realization of ultra high-speed digital electronics withhigh complexity. We evaluate the possible physical, technological, andschematical origins of restrictions limiting such an application, andpropose solutions for their overcoming. Although our considerations arebased on the rapid single-flux quantum technique, the conclusions derivedcan be generalized about any type of digital information coding.
