Abstract
1371686 Bi-stable transistor circuits INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 7 June 1972 [16 July 1971] 26506/72 Heading H3T [Also in Division G4] An array of cross-coupled transistor storage cells has means (e.g. an exclusive OR gate) to prevent the application of write signals to the cells if the state of the cell corresponds with the data to be written in. In Fig. 2 the cell comprises cross-coupled double emitter transistors Q3, Q4 together with output transistors Q2, Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8. Current flow to the outer emitters is normally prevented by transistors Q15 and Q16 which are conducting. To change the state of the cell a cell select pulse is applied at 24 to cut off Q15 and Q16 and an “up” or “down” data signal is applied to terminal 13. Accordingly one or other of transistors Q11, Q12 conducts, holding the outer emitter of the conducting one of transistors Q3, Q4 non-conducting and allowing conduction to the outer emitter of the other. The circuit is thus caused to change state. As soon as the change is effected the fall in potential of the collector of the conducting transistor acts via Q5, Q7 and Q18 or Q2, Q6 and Q12 to raise the potential of the conducting outer emitter and thus prevents the remaining part of the write pulse from driving the transistor to saturation. If the state of the cell had corresponded to the new data the write pulse would likewise have been inhibited and the dissipation of power thus reduced.
