Abstract
We report on the implementation of a multiplexer that uses superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) to read out low-impedance cryogenic d etectors. Using prototype chips, a circuit was built which interfaces eight input SQUID channels with a close-packed array of eight transition-edge se nsor (TES) infrared bolometers. Circuit elements were measured and crosstal k specifications are reported. Digital feedback is employed to flux-lock a single element in the array of SQUIDs. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
