Elements of the RSFQ logic/memory family have already reached operation frequency as large as 100 GHz and have a good chance to enter a sub-terahertz clock frequency range. Their parameter margins are as wide as {plus minus}25 + 30%, even one bit gates posses flip-flop features, and can be naturally self-times. This paper reports on RSFQ elements (OR-AND, NOR-AND), half adder, mutiplexer, demultiplexer, and shift registers are presented. Operation of these gates have been studied with the help of the Personal Superconductor Circuit Analyzer (PSCAN) within the standard RSJ model of Josephson junctions. Parameter margins and other performance limits of the new elements are thoroughly investigated.
