Abstract:
A counter which is capable of counting in several closed-loop counting cycles and means for sensing certain bits which are of the same value at least once in all counting cycles for placing in the counter a count which is unique to only one of the counting cycles.
Abstract:
Signal translating stages which are useful in shift register applications are described. The signal translating stage is shown, in one example, to be constructed of complementary IGFET devices and, in another example, of single conductivity type IGFET devices. In either example, the shift register stage includes a flip-flop storage circuit and an inverter input capacitance node storage circuit which are operatively coupled and decoupled under the control of clock signals to translate information from the input to the output of the stage.
Abstract:
A circuit for monitoring the power supply for a memory system which is arranged to inhibit operation of the memory system during a power supply failure while maintaining a temporary supply of power to the memory system.
