Transistor Multistable Switching Circuits

Abstract

Transistor Multistable Circuits are a new class of switching circuits which can be widely used for many applications of Electronic Instrumentation and Computers as counters with radix more than two, binary-quinary decimal counters, ring counters, logic circuits, electronic commutators, special coding units, three-positional switches, etc. The main advantage of these circuits is that only one active element (transistor) is required for every stable state. The principles of construction and methods of analysis and calculation are shown in the paper, which will be useful in scientific engineering and educational work for developing progressive circuits of instrumentation.
