This paper describes the design and operation of an 18 992 Josephson-junction array which can generate reference voltages up to 12 V. This device has applications for the direct calibration of Zener reference standards, calibrators, and digital voltmeters at the 10-V level, and for very accurate linearity and ratio measurements.
