PECULIARITIES OF RSFQ APPLICATIONS WITH HIGH-T-C SUPERCONDUCTORS - ANAPPROACH FOR DESIGN

The significant progress in the development of Rapid Single Flux Quant um (RSFQ) logic circuits indicates their potential for fast cryoelectr onic device applications. The possibilities of realizing logic compone nts based on this principle with high-T-c superconductive (HTS) materi als have been studied by means of numerical computations. The most cru cial task is to manage the trade-off between desired high critical cur rents and the loop inductances, which can not be made arbitrarily smal l. Parameter extractions for typical layout arrangements and dynamical simulations including thermal noise give justification for expecting small scale HTS-RSFQ implementations.
