摘要
We have fabricated and measured high Tc 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 YBa2Cu3O7-δ 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.
