abstract = {The Central Institute for Electronic Systems at
Forschungszentrum Jülich develops, designs and tests
scalable solutionsfor the control, readout and writing of
qubits to be used in future quantum computers. The focus
lies on highly integratedsystem-on-chip (SoC) solutions.One
of the main challenges to integrate a high number of qubits
is their connection to the control electronics at
roomtemperature and their sensitivity to noise [1,2].
Therefore, close proximity of the integrated control
circuits to the qubitspromises significant benefits and will
most likely be the only way to reach qubit numbers beyond a
thousand, thus gainingincreased attention in the last years
[3-5].The operation of GaAs qubits requires voltage pulses,
whereas SiGe qubits are controlled by high frequency RF
signals.Multiple DC voltages are required to form potential
wells and tune the qubit into operating region for both
types of qubits. Atest chip was designed and layouted in a
commercial 65nm CMOS process [6] to fill this role. The chip
employs a 20 GHzvoltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to
generate RF signals for future use in a cryogenic
Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL), enablingSiGe qubit control. A 250
MS/s pulse DAC for operation of GaAs qubits is realized on
the chip. A low power multi-outputchanneldigital-to-analog
converter is included togenerate DC bias voltages, among
other additional circuitry forperformance verification,
operational amplifiers are includedin order to cope with the
low driving strength of the DAC. Forthe on-chip clock
generation a digital controlled oscillator (DCO) operating
in the 100-500 MHz range is used. The chip isdesigned to be
placed in close proximity to the qubit at the millikelvin
temperature stageto generate the DC and pulsevoltagesand on
the 4K-stage for RF signal generation(VCO).In this
presentation, we will describe the chip architecture in
detailandshow measured chip performance at
cryogenictemperature below 10 K.[1]C. G. Almudever et al.,
