Abstract:
A three terminal circuit comprised of two semiconductor transistors of opposite polarity types and two semiconductor diodes. These semiconductors are interconnected so as to provide positive regenerative feedback in a manner which permits achieving highly stable, temperature insensitive circuit characteristics which can be made independent of circuit parameters. The circuit requires no resistors, capacitors or inductors and may be used with particular advantage in integrated circuit form. Use of the circuit as an impedance converter, current generator, voltage regulator and differential amplifier are illustrated.
Abstract:
A family of circuits characterized by storage mode operation in a switching circuit employs minority carrier injection from the base into the collector region of a semi-conductor device. The minority carrier charge stored in the collector thereafter causes amplified forward collector emitter current when forward collector potential is applied. Particular examples of the circuit family include inverters, single shot circuits, transistor oscillators and electronic switching in general.
