The sensitivity of a two-Josephson-junction interferometer as a magnetic flux detector (dc SQUID) is estimated. The minimum value of the basic SQUID characteristic-noise equivalent temperature δT = (δΦ)
2/k
BL appears to be as low as for the best rf SQUID mode:

. Here

is an operating temperature, f
ois a characteristic frequency of the Josephson junctions and

is a post-detector bandwidth. For a typical value of SQUID inductance L this limit corresponds to flux sensitivity of the order of 10
