Multiple-quantum interference in a superconducting interferometer is used for analog-to-digital conversion. The simple fully parallel four-bit converter which is described is the first known use of this effect in a digital circuit. Sampling rates of 2 x 10/sup 8/ per second were achieved, and much higher rates appear possible.
