    Abstract
    With thc advent of Superconductivity, a new category of Integrated Circuits' Technology has been represented called RSFQ (Rapid Single Flux Quantum) Superconductor 'technology, RSFQ superconducting circuits use Josephson Junctions (JJ) as electronic switches. In RSFQ superconducting circuits information is represented as discrete voltage pulses equivalent to the magnetic flux quanta. In this paper, we first describe the Josephson effect and then explain the basic building blocks used in RSFQ circuits and performance of some asynchronous logic gates
