Eby G. Friedman worked at the Hughes Aircraft Company for a dozen years developing a large variety of integrated circuits for U.S. military and commercial applications. He is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Rochester and is a Visiting Professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. He has authored more than 600 papers and book chapters, 29 patents, and 22 books in the fields of high speed and low power CMOS design techniques, 3-D design methodologies, high speed interconnect, superconductive circuits, and synchronous clock and power distribution networks with application to high speed portable processors, low power wireless communications, and data centers.

High efficiency, large scale, stationary computing systems – supercomputers and data centers – are becoming increasingly important due to the movement of data storage and processing onto remote cloud servers. Single Flux Quantum Integrated Circuit Design (2nd Edition) is dedicated to a technology particularly appropriate for this application – superconductive electronics, in particular, rapid single flux quantum circuits. The primary purpose of this book is to introduce and systematize recent developments in superconductive electronics to provide insight and engineering intuition into the design of large scale digital superconductive circuits and systems.
