Simulation and Operation of DC/SFQ Circuit

DC/SFQ 회로의 시뮬레이션 및 작동

The purpose of a superconductive DC/SFQ circuit is to produce a controlled number of picosecond single flux quantum pulses at the output when a slowly changing DC current is applied to the input. In this work, we have designed and simulated a DC/SFQ circuit based on Nb/Al$O_{x}$/Nb Josephson junction technology. From the simulation, we could obtain the margins for various circuit parameters. And also we have successfully operated a DC/SFQ circuit which was fabricated with the same design. The margin for the input bias current of the circuit was observed to be of $\pm$60%, which was very close to the simulated value.
