Abstract

To better understand working principles of Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) direct readout schemes which are working in different bias and amplifier modes with different internal feedback schemes, we present the complete circuit analyses based on SQUID small signal model. SQUID bias and amplifier circuits are analyzed using SQUID Thevenin's equivalent circuit, and the general equivalent circuit of SQUID with different internal feedback schemes is derived and analyzed with trans-impedance amplifier model. Transfer characteristics and noise performances of different direct readout schemes are analyzed and experimentally characterized. It is shown that, amplifier noise suppression is only depended on SQUID flux-to-voltage transfer coefficient and irrelevant to the configuration of bias and amplifier; SQUID with internal feedback scheme improves the transfer coefficient with voltage feedback, and regulates the dynamic resistance with current feedback.
