| Research Abstract |
On-chip double relaxation oscillation SQUID(DROS) with a superconducting digital flux locked-loop(FLL) circuit is demonstrated far high sensitive magnetic flux sensor and SQUID amplifier. In this study, we examined two kinds of superconducting digital FLL circuits : one was composed of a 8-bit up/down counter and a 8-bit R-2R ladder-type D/A converter designed using 4JL-gates which are driven by a two phase power supply at a frequency up to 4GHz. The other one was composed of an on-chip FLL circuit based on a Josephson counter and a 6-bit up/down counter using SFQ logic gates.
In the up/down counter, we used binary carry lookahead(BCL) circuits for high-speed operation. Logic simulations for the 4JL 8-bit up/down counter with BCL circuits showed correct up-and down-counting operation at 4GHz clock frequency assuming a 2.5kA/cm^2 Nb/Al-AlO_x/Nb junction technology. We expected that a DROS with the superconducting digital FLL circuit has large slew rate as high as 10-7Φ_0/s.
Using the 6-bit up/down counter using SFQ logic gates, logic simulations showed the correct up and down counting operation up to 33GHz and we expected that a DROS with the SFQ digital FLL circuits can be operated at 10GHz.
