Abstract(in English) The generation and distribution of clock pulses for high-speed SFQ (single flux quantum) circuits, where data and clock are the form of SFQ pulse train, is a very important technology. A stable high-frequency on-chip clock is needed for a variety of applications. Both short-term stability and long-term stability of the clock have critical effects on the performance of the digital systems. It is well known that the long-term clock stability is obtained by using a phase-locked loop (PLL) to synchronize the clock with an external stable reference signal. We have proposed an on-chip SFQ PLL circuit consisting of a phase detector, a loop filter and a feed back loop. The phase detector is a SQUID loop placed in Josephson transmission lines (JTLs) propagating the clock and the reference SFQ pulses. The phase difference detected is amplified by a SQUID amplifier and fed back to the Josephson oscillator through a low pass filter. A JSIM computer simulation has confirmed the proper locked oscillation.
