Design of SFQ-counting analog-to-digital converter

J.C. Lin, Vasili K. Semenov, Konstantin K. Likharev

We describe the design of an oversampling single-flux-counting analog-to-digital converter with the estimated bandwidth of a few tens of MHz, based on Rapid Single-Flux-Quantum (RSFQ) devices. It consists of an input analog circuit, high-speed quantizer with an original analog/digital negative feedback loop, decimation (comb) filter, and supporting subsystems including clock distribution circuits, quantization signal conditioner, and output drivers. We have applied a new approach, the 'symmetrizing' negative feedback, to free the quantizer from the intrinsic hysteresis without dynamic range sacrifice. The 16-bit version of the system comprises about 1,500 Josephson junctions and consumes 1.2 mW of DC power, when implemented using Nb-trilayer technology with 1 kA/cm/sup 2/, 3.5 /spl mu/m Josephson junctions. All subsystems of the converter have been successfully tested and testing of the system as a whole is in progress.>

Multilayer HTS SFQ analog-to-digital converters

We have fabricated and measured high T/sub c/ superconductor single flux quantum 1-bit flux-counting analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The ADCs were made with a multilayer all-epitaxial process which incorporates 10 edge SNS (superconductor-normal-superconductor) or step-edge grain boundary (SEGB) Josephson junctions with a YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// groundplane. The ADC consists of a quantizer connected to a Toggle flip-flop through a buffer-like stage. Direct readout of the flux state of the T flip-flop was made with a Read SQUID inductively coupled through a hole in the groundplane. The circuits were operated at 65 K and low speeds. The SNS circuits outperformed the SEGB circuits because of their higher readout voltages and tighter critical current spreads.
