An asynchronous digital SQUID with complementary output, which needs no periodic high-frequency readout clock input, has been investigated. The magnetic flux resolution of the asynchronous digital SQUID has been improved using an on-chip magnetic feedback. A wide dynamic range asynchronous digital SQUID magnetometer system with improved magnetic resolution has been devised using alternating readout of two digital SQUIDs placed in parallel. The slew rate and the dynamic range of the asynchronous digital SQUID magnetometer were estimated to be 4 × 10 10 0 /s and the quite large, respectively. We have designed the asynchronous digital SQUID magnetometer system using 2.5 kA/cm 2 Nb process. We have experimentally confirmed the magnetic flux resolution of less than flux quantum ( 0) and the good linearity of the magnetic response of the asynchronous digital SQUID magnetometer system up to 3000 0 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
