Simulation Results of the 4 stage Single Flux Quantum Voltage Multiplier

4 stage 단자속 양자 Voltage Multiplier의 Simulation 결과

Analog-to-digital converter has attracted a lot of interests as one of the most prospective area of an application of Josephson Junction technology. Recently, the development of a digital-to-analog converter has been pursued to achieved the high performance. One of the main advantage in using single flux quantum logic in a digital-to-analog converter is the low voltage drop in a single Josephson Junction and hence the resolution of the output voltage of this digital-to-analog converter can be very high. In this work, we have used a software, called WRspice, to study a voltage multiplier circuit which is the basic block in building a digital-to-analog circuit. In simulation, we operated a voltage multiplier with .4 Josephson Junctions per stage and studied the dependence on the circuit bias currents and the circuit inductors of the voltage multiplier. Our simulation results showed a fast operation and reasonable circuit margins.
