Abstract
A novel DC-powered Josephson circuit is reported. An improved HUFFLE-type DC flip-flop with a parallel resistor, to prevent hang-up, is constructed by combinational circuits as well as sequential circuits. The basic device is a vertical type two-junction interferometer with only three-metal layers. The design rule is 2.5 mu m. High junction-current density allows for a wide operating margin even with a low inductance load. Basic circuit function test elements have been completed. The DC flip-flop with excess gate current works as a GHz range VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) for internal clock generation. The speedup junction successfully accelerated the switching speed. The ring-oscillator showed a minimum gate delay of 11.3 ps. >
