Abstract

In this Work, we have studied about an RSFQ 2$\times$2 crossbar switch. The circuit was designed, simulated, and laid out for mask fabrication The switch cell was composed of a splitter a confluence buffer, and a switch core. An RSFQ 2$\times$2 crossbar switch was composed of 4 switch cells, a switch control input to select the cross and bar, data input, and data outputs. When a pulse was input to the switch control input to select the cross or bar the route of the input data was determined, and the data was output at the proper output port. We simulated and optimized the switch-element circuit and 2$\times$2 crossbar switch, by using Xic and Julia. We also performed the mask layout of the circuit by using Xic and Lmeter.
