We investigated single flux quantum sinc filters with multistage decimation structure in order to realize high-speed sinc filter operation. Second- and third-order (k=2, 3) sinc filters with a decimation factor N=2 were designed and confirmed their proper operations. These sinc filters with N=2 are utilized as elementary circuit blocks of our multistage decimation sinc filters with N=2M, where M indicates the number of the stage of the decimation. As an example of the multistage decimation filter, we designed a k=2, N=4 sinc filter which was formed from a two-stage decimation structure using k=2, N=2 sinc filters, and confirmed its proper operation. The k=2, N=4 sinc filter consisted of 1372 Josephson junctions with the power consumption of 191 µW.

In this paper, we describe our SFQ circuit design and measurement carried out in SRL-ISTEC. We are studying an oversampling sigma-delta modulator and a counter-type decimation filter with multistage structure for developing AD converters for software-defined radio application. We are also developing a superconducting memory, whose peripheral circuits are constructed with SFQ circuits.

In this paper, it is shown that our fabricated MTJ of 60180 nm2, which is connected to the MOSFET in series by 3 levels via and 3 levels metal line, can dynamically operate with the programming current driven by 0.14 µm CMOSFET. In our measurement of transient characteristic of fabricated MTJ, the pulse current, which is generated by the MOSFET with an applied pulse voltage of 1.5 V to its gate, injected to the fabricated MTJ connected to the MOSFET in series. By using the current measurement technique flowing in MTJ with sampling period of 10 nsec, for the first time, we succeeded in monitor that the transition speed of the resistance change of 60180 nm2 MTJ is less than 30 ns with its programming current of 500 µA and the resistance change of 1.2 kΩ.

In this paper, we have succeeded in the fabrication of high performance Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) which is integrated in CMOS circuit with 4-Metal/ 1-poly Gate 0.14 µm CMOS process. We have measured the DC characteristics of the MTJ that is fabricated on via metal of 3rd layer metal line. This MTJ of 60180 nm2 achieves a large change in resistance of 3.52 kΩ (anti-parallel) with TMR ratio of 151% at room temperature, which is large enough for sensing scheme of standard CMOS logic. Furthermore, the write current is 320 µA that can be driven by a standard MOS transistor. As the results, it is shown that the DC performance of our fabricated MTJ integrated in CMOS circuits is very good for our novel spin logic (MTJ-based logic) device.
