Abstract(in English) The major noise sources in rapid single-flux-quantum (RSFQ) circuits are shunt resistors which are connected in parallel with Josephson junctions (JJs). We present a new design technique of RSFQ logic gates for noise reduction. In this study, we propose the use of a damping resistor shared with a junction pair composing a comparator, in addition to their individual shunt resistors increased from the standard values to increase McCumber-Stewart parameters from 1 to 4. We analyzed timing characteristics and bit error rates (BERs) of several RSFQ flip-flops composed of the proposed comparators using numerical simulation. The proposed comparator showed sharped BER curves, and improvement in timing characteristics compared to the standard comparator. We fabricated 2-bit shift registers using the noise reduction technique, and obtained sharp BER curves from the measurement.
