    摘要: A flip-flop is provided that includes an input latch, configured to receive a data signal and a complement and produce set and reset pulses based on a clock and a difference between the data signal and the complement; and an output latch, configured to store a data value in a first memory and a complement data value in a second memory based on the set and reset pulses and the clock. Various buffers configured to invert and amplify the set and reset pulses before provision to the output latch stages are optionally disposed between the input and output latches. The input latch includes two signal arms, two difference transistors (one gate controlled by the clock and the other by a clock complement) coupled oppositely to one another (by respective drains and sources) to the signal arms, and two regeneration inverters coupled oppositely to one another to the signal arms.

    摘要: A high-speed, current-driven latch is provided. The latch conducts a current and includes an output, a SET circuit and a RESET circuit. The output is variable between a first state and a second state. The SET circuit conducts the current present in the latch at the first state such that the SET circuit is maintained close to a level required to change the output of the transistor from the first to the second level, and the RESET circuit conducts the current at the second level such that the RESET circuit is close to a level required to change the output of the transistor from the second level to the first level.

    摘要: A transformer-based electrical circuit that isolates a low voltage level input control signal from a power switching device, such a MOSFET, is disclosed. The circuit includes a pair of complementary dual bipolar transistor configurations connected to the secondary winding of a pulse transformer. The low voltage input signal is connected to the primary winding of the transformer. A pair of resistor network transistor drivers connect to corresponding bipolar transistors, whose outputs connect to the gate terminal of the MOSFET. The drivers are also connected to the complementary transistor pairs. A resistive feedback network is connected between the gate terminal of the MOSFET and the complimentary transistor pairs. The feedback network latches the selected drive voltage to the gate of the MOSFET, thereby keeping it on or off irrespective of the fact that the pulse transformer may have saturated.

    摘要: A circuit for buffering and parity checking digital data communicated between first and second data buses includes a plurality of bidirectional bit buffer circuits. Each of the bidirectional bit buffer circuits includes: a first data path comprising a data receiver, latch, and driver connected in series between the first and second data buses, respectively; a second data path comprising a data receiver, latch and driver connected in series between the second and first data buses, respectively; control mechanisms for controlling the drivers to selectively place the output of the drivers in an active driving or high impedance state; and control mechanisms for controlling the data latches to selectively latch or pass through data. A parity generating circuit is connected at the output of the latch in the first data path of each of the bidirectional bit buffer circuits for generating a parity bit responsive to the data at the output of these latches. A transparent latch and driver circuit with phase splitter are provided for increasing the speed of the circuit without substantially increasing the power requirements.

    摘要: Dual phase splitter transistor elements, an output phase splitter transistor element and a secondary phase splitter transistor element, are coupled in current mirror configuration in a TTL output buffer circuit. The output phase splitter transistor element is coupled to the pullup and pulldown transistor elements for controlling the respective conducting states of the pullup and pulldown transistor elements. The collector of the secondary phase splitter transistor element is coupled in a supplemental circuit which can have a variable load without direct connection to the pullup transistor element and output. A low impedance current sourcing active transistor element is coupled in emitter follower configuration at the collector node of the secondary phase splitter transistor element for supplying mirroring current through the emitter of the secondary phase splitter transistor element to reduce current hogging at the dual phase splitter transistor elements. The current sourcing transistor element is coupled in parallel with the supplemental circuit thereby providing a variable current which varies inversely with the collector current supplied by the supplemental circuit. The invention is applied in a JK flip flop circuit as the output buffer circuits with the collector of the secondary phase splitter transistor element coupled to the cross feedback circuit. The cross feedback transistor element in the cross feedback circuit is therefore isolated from the pullup transistor element and output avoiding feedback transistor breakdown when the output is at high potential. The current sourcing transistor element prevents current hogging between the dual phase splitter transistor elements.

    摘要: A phase splitter with latch comprises a true complement generator in the form of a current switch (T1, T2, T3, R3) which supplies two complementary output signals in response to an input signal (VIN). The outputs of this true complement generator are in each case connected to an associated emitter follower (T4, T5). The two emitter followers (T4, T5) have identical emitter resistors (R6, R7) which simultaneously serve as collector load resistors of two cross-coupled transistors (T6, T7) also comprise identical but higher emitter resistors (R13, R14) than the emitter followers (T6, T7). The emitters of the cross-coupled transistors (T6, T7) are each connected to one of the two inputs of an output stage (T8, T9, T11) consisting of a current switch. This current switch is connected to operating voltage (VEE) through a clock-controlled transistor (T11). Upon actuation of the output stage, i.e., when transistor (T11) is on, the active emitter resistance of one of the cross-coupled transistors (T6, T7) is pulled below the value of the emitter resistors (R6, R7) of the emitter followers (T4, T5), thus causing the latch circuit to be latched as a function of the input signal.

    摘要: A bipolar logic gate is provided which will perform logical operations involving the complement of one or more input signals. The gate resembles the conventional ECL OR/NOR gate circuit except that a level shift input transistor is substituted for the standard reference transistor and shifts the voltage level of the input signal whose complement is to be included in the logical operation. A voltage shift of about -0.4 volts occurs either at the base or on the emitter of the level shift input transistor. As a consequence of the voltage shift and subsequent comparison with unshifted voltages, the input voltages are compared with each other rather than with a reference voltage, V.sub.BB. Logically, the complement of the input is included in the OR'd and NOR'd outputs provided on the output lines. The logic gate may be incorporated in combinational and sequential logic circuits.
