Fig. 3. The Symbol View is instanciated in a SPICE deck that describes physical-level simulation using WRSpice. This is used by the gate library<br />

developer to optimize the gate and by the circuit designer to simulate circuits containing many gates.<br />

The symbol view is used to place the cell in a larger circuit schematic. The schematic shown in Figure 3 is a SPICE<br />

deck that includes standard Josephson transmission line (JTL) input and output loads and input waveforms. This<br />

schematic is netlisted hierarchically down to the device level. This is used by the gate library developer to simulate<br />

the gate using WRSpice, which contains the JJ device element. Physical-level parameter optimization is done using<br />

a combination of rule-based and software-based automated parameter selection. Larger SPICE decks containing<br />

many gate instances may be constructed by the circuit designer, netlisted to WRSpice, and simulated.<br />
