Abstract :
Interface circuits for the RSFQ circuit system were designed, fabricated and their frequency characteristics were investigated. Key elements of the interface circuit were the series array of SQUIDs and a JTL as a control line of the SQUID. The interface circuit was designed to cover the operating frequencies much greater than 10 GHz. A high-frequency signal generator circuit consisting of a ring oscillator, a frequency divider, and an interface circuit was fabricated. High frequency signals produced in the ring oscillator could be detected by using the interface circuit. The h/2e relationship between the oscillation frequency and the ac Josephson voltage was verified
