ABSTRACT:
In a bipolar transistor storage array, the single emitter terminal of each transistor is connected to a bit line. Each bit line is connected to a sense amplifier that provides a low impedance connection to a current source or voltage reference point. The low impedance circuit helps to provide fast switching for a write operation and a noise immune storage operation. The emitter connection and the sense amplifier construction simplify the conversion of the array or part of the array to a read only storage function.
