Abstract: | Rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) circuits create high interest in cryogenic amplifiers as interface to commercial room temperature electronics. The requirements for the amplifiers are an extremely high bandwidth (SFQ pulses with ), high voltage gain of about 104 (common RSFQ output voltage level of about ), low power consumption (cryogenic environment at 4 K) and low noise. Hybrid amplifiers, based on commercial available p-HEMT transistors, can solve the problematic high-speed interface. In this paper, we present measurement results of a hybrid four stage coplanar amplifier in combination with a RSFQ Toggle Flip-Flop (RSFQ T-FF) and a Josephson array quantizer (JA-Q). |
