Rj. Wiegerink et al., AN HTS QUASI-ONE JUNCTION SQUID-BASED PERIODIC THRESHOLD COMPARATOR FOR A 4-BIT SUPERCONDUCTIVE FLASH A D CONVERTER/, IEEE transactions on applied superconductivity, 5(3), 1995, pp. 3452-3458
An all high-T-c periodic threshold comparator for application in a 4-b
it superconductive A/D converter has been realized and tested. The the
oretical threshold curve of the comparator is calculated and compared
to the measured results. Furthermore, the thermal noise immunity and t
he influence of flux-how are considered, resulting in practical design
constraints for the comparator circuit.
