[en] Several fully functional programmable voltage standard chips, each having a total of 32768 Nb endash PdAu endash Nb Josephson junctions, have been fabricated and tested. The chips are based on a new design that provides fast programmability (1 μs) between voltages and stable voltage operation from -1 to +1V. A comparison of the new standard with a conventional Josephson voltage standard is in agreement to 0.5±1.1 parts in 10⁹. We demonstrate the utility of this standard by measuring the linearity of a digital voltmeter. copyright 1997 American Institute of Physics
