    摘要: This describes a sense latch for a bipolar dynamic array in which each cell is comprised of a capacitor and a pnp-npn transistor. Cell information is stored in the capacitor. The capacitor may be either a discreet capacitor or may be formed as part of the base node of the pnp transistor. The sense latch of the invention comprises a pair of cross coupled transistors coupled between a pair of capacitively loaded bit lines of the array with one of the bit lines being coupled to a data cell and the other being coupled to a reference cell. Means for precharging the bit lines to a fixed voltage level and means for reading the cell to charge one of the bit lines to a level greater than the precharge level and apply a differential signal to the latch are also provided so that during the reading cycle one of the transistors in the latch becomes turned on so that the voltage levels of both bit lines are determined by the characteristics of the turned on transistor only. The voltage on one line is determined by the forward base-emitter characteristics of the turned on transistor and the voltage on the other line is determined by the saturated collector-emitter characteristics of the same turned on transistor.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory array contains memory cells each of which contains an NPN transistor and a PNP transistor. The collector and base of the NPN transistor are respectively coupled to the base and collector of the PNP transistor. Bit information is written into the cell by causing or inhibiting conduction in the PNP transistor in order to set the potential of the base of the NPN transistor to one of two values which represent, respectively, a ''''1'''' and a ''''0.'''' A positive polarity voltage pulse applied to the collector of the NPN transistor causes information previously stored in the cell to be read out.

    摘要: A plurality of two-input logic gates such as OR gates supplying their outputs to a three-input logic gate such as an AND gate and including a feedback connection from the three-input gate to all but one of the two-input gates. A control signal is applied to the two-input gate not receiving feedback and the complement of this control signal is applied to one of the other two-input gates. An information signal is applied to the two-input gate not receiving feedback and to a two-input gate not receiving the complement of the control signal.

    摘要: A method of forming a complementary lateral bipolar SRAM device. The device includes: a first set and second set of lateral bipolar transistors forming a respective first inverter device and second inverter device, the first and second inverter devices being cross-coupled for storing a logic state. In each said first and second set, a first bipolar transistor is an PNP type bipolar transistor, and a second bipolar transistor is an NPN type bipolar transistor, each said NPN type bipolar transistor having a base terminal, a first emitter terminal, a second emitter terminal, and a collector terminal. Emitter terminals of the PNP type transistors of each first and second inverter devices are electrically coupled together and receive a first applied wordline voltage. The first emitter terminals of each said NPN transistors of said first inverter and second inverter devices are electrically coupled together and receive a second applied voltage. The second emitter terminal of one NPN bipolar transistor of said first inverter is electrically coupled to a first bit line conductor, and the second emitter terminal of the NPN bipolar transistor of said second inverter device is electrically coupled to a second bit line.
