ABSTRACT:
The basic circuit (FIG. 2) includes an input device (A) driving two output transistors (B) and (C) which have different rise times [injection currents (I2, I3) or the input characteristics of the transistors (capacitors C2, C3) may be adjusted]. In a preferred embodiment (FIG. 3) differentiation is ensured by coupling a control transistor D to one of the output transistors (B) through a PNP transistor. If transistors (B) and (C) are cross-coupled, the circuit which is achieved is a bistable device. FIG. 4 shows the layout of the circuit of FIG. 3. Various applications in the synchronous logic circuit domain are described: T flip-flop (FIG. 8) and shift register (FIG. 9).
