The state of the art of RSFQ logic shows that this technology is viable for different areas of application.

Abstract
The state of the art of RSFQ logic shows that this technology is viable for different areas of application. In fact, we have seen a significant increase in the number of circuits developed over the past twenty years, and the performances achieved: speed, power consumption, integration density and also in terms of technology: new JJ, submicron technologies ... the space domain, this technology has not yet found its place and this despite the need for more and more important in terms of computing power. The generation of cold remains the main lock of this technology. In this article, we will list missions carrying cooled instruments that could integrate the logic of the RSFQ. We will then expose the scientific objectives and the space agencies concerned.

Abstract: (french)
L’état de l’art de la logique RSFQ montre que cette technologie est viable pour différents domaines d’application. En effet, nous assistons, depuis les deux dernières décades, à une augmentation importante du nombre de circuits développés, des performances atteintes : vitesse, puissance consommée, densité d’intégration et aussi en termes de technologie : nouvelles JJ, technologie submicronique… Toutefois dans le domaine spatial, cette technologie n’a pas encore trouvé sa place et cela malgré les besoins de plus en plus importants en termes de puissance de calcul. La génération du froid restant le principal verrou à cette technologie. Dans cet article, nous listerons les missions qui embarquent du froid et susceptible d’intégrer la logique RSFQ. Nous exposerons alors les objectifs scientifiques et les agences spatiales concernées.
Author Keywords: Logique RSFQ, missions spatiales, technologie supraconducteur, technologie microélectronique, flot de conception RSFQ.
