Abstract(in English) We present design and test results on 10-bit rapid single flux quantum digital-to-analog (D/A) converters aimed at ac voltage standard applications. The 10-bit D/A converter, though its output voltage is insufficiently low for practical use, is a prototype which provides all the necessary functions for the ac voltage standard. Based on unsuccessful results on the first version, the chip design was improved by reducing the bias currents for circuit blocks. While correct operations of newly designed subsystems were confirmed, complete testing of the whole 10-bit D/A converter was not available because of a careless mistake in layout. Partial test results on the 10-bit chip suggested that our design approach can manage the high bias currents on the order of 1 A per chip.
