摘要: A fast digital Double Relaxation Oscillation SQUID (DROS) with a relaxation oscillation frequency of 100 MHz has been developed. The DROS incorporates and superconducting up-down counter that supplies the feedback flux. major advantage is oscillations generate an on-chip clock signal therefore, no external required. In order to maximize slew rate without compromising sensitivity, quantization unit flux was adapted noise DROS. This resulted in designed 5/spl middot/10/sup 6/ /spl Phi//sub 0//s. We will discuss design optimization, numerical simulations, layout some experimental results
