Popis: A pulse drive system capable of converting an arbitrary input signal into a delta sigma encoded pulse code stream in real time has been demonstrated. This system is based on the use of analog and digital hardware controlled by a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) rather than using software to produce the delta sigma code and then loading it into the memory of a commercial Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG). The results of using the system to drive a Josephson junction array to synthesize quantum-accurate voltage waveforms are presented. The advantage of such a system includes the significant reduction in time required to change waveform parameters. This provides an easily tunable source of high-fidelity stable voltage waveforms at low temperature for future applications including validation of components for use in quantum technologies.
