The ColdFlux project, within the IARPA SuperTools program, aims to develop an open-source EDA tool suite for superconductor circuits, with focus on Rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) and Adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP) logic. The functionality of the ColdFlux tool suite is validated through the development of ready-to-use cell libraries. The process of establishing the open-source ColdFlux RSFQ cell library is documented, along with the set of EDA tools developed within the project required for each step. This includes the initial cell design using phase-based equations, circuit simulation, operating margin analysis, and cell parameter optimization. The row-based layout architecture for the RSFQ cell library is also presented. Several of the designed RSFQ cells are placed within test circuits and fabricated through the MIT-LL SFQ5ee fabrication process. We present the measured results for these test circuits and discuss design efficiency, potential improvements, and future work.
