Abstract
The computer simulation of a realistic, manufacturable superconducting flash analog-to-digital converter which is predicted to operate with an effective accuracy of 7.36 b on a 500-MHz sine wave at a 20-GHz sampling rate is described. At 1 GHz the accuracy degrades to 6.48-b. This circuit is an attractive way to approach a fast, superconducting 8-b flash analog-to-digital converter, as it is simpler and offers better performance than competitive designs
