Abstract：Compared to the conventional voltage standards, Josephson voltage standards are more reproducible, stable and accurate. The principles, problems and applications of programmable Josephson voltage standards and pulse-driven AC Josephson voltage standards are reviewed. Moreover, their differences in metrological performance are compared and their developments in China are also presented.
