Title:
Information storage circuit
Abstract:
A non-saturating binary memory cell includes a bistable circuit comprising two cross coupled transistors with an offset resistor connected to their emitters and a third transistor having its collector-to-emitter path connected between the base of one of said two cross-coupled transistors and a data line. Information present on the data line is written into the bistable circuit by passing a turn on current through a first diode in a direction to forward bias the base of said third transistor. The writing of information into the bistable circuit is selectively inhibited by means of a diode network connected to prevent the forward biasing of said third transistor.
