ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a single flux quantum circuit that uses a flux quantum as an information carrier, which generates a SFQ clock signal with little clock jitter and supplies the SFQ clock signal to a SFQ function circuit of the SFQ circuit, the SFQ function circuit is configured to include a current steering type single flux quantum circuit that is capable of concurrently achieving both a conversion function of converting a current signal into a SFQ signal and a comparator function of outputting a SFQ data signal in response to the amount of a to-be-compared current. At the same time, a SFQ clock signal oscillation circuit for generating a SFQ clock signal in response to the amount of DC voltage is formed.
