Abstract

This paper reports the progress of binary Josephson system for precise ac waveform synthesis in National Institute of Metrology, China (NIM). We designed a 32-channel bias source for dynamic voltage synthesis up to 1 kHz with a programmable Josephson junction array. The latest design of output drive current has a rise-time less than 50 ns on 100 ohm resistant. The 32-channel bias source is able to simultaneously provide bias current for two 1-volt SINIS junction arrays to synthesis two synchronous AC voltages.
