Abstract

1,238,449. Transistor bi-stable circuits. SIEMENS A.G. 14 July, 1969 [15 July, 1968], No. 35305/69. Heading H3T. A bi-stable, such as a complementary pair of transistors 5, 10, has a single magnetic core 2 with only two windings of which a first 21 carries a steady current from the supply, and a second 22 carries a current when the bi-stable is in one state to produce a flux opposing that due to the first winding and carries no current when the bi-stable is in the other state, whereby the bistable always resumes after a power failure that state which it had before. The transistors, being normally off, are turned on by a signal at T5 base 6, whereupon T5 saturates and T10 assumes an amplifying mode to transmit a signal from a transformer 11 to an output 15. The current in winding 22 is twice that in winding 21 so that the magnetization of the core 2 is reversed. If the power supply is turned off then upon subsequently turning on again, a current flows in winding 21 which changes back the magnetization of core 2, this causing a pulse to be generated in winding 22 which turns on T5, T10. Thus the original state is resumed, and the core is remagnetized once more by the bistable current. If the bistable had not been conductive when the power supply stopped, then the core would have been magnetized already in the direction appropriate to the winding 21 current upon switch on, and no more than a spurious pulse would appear in winding 22, this being prevented from turning on the bi-stable by a capacitor 8. Means are provided to ensure that turn-on of the supply is rapid enough to ensure correct core response. The transformer 11 may supply more than one bi-stable from the same secondary or from respective secondaries, and more than one bi-stable may supply the same output 15 at a common emitter resistor 14. The transformer 11 and diode 12 may be replaced by a capacitor input. A second transistor may supplement T10 to enable A.C. signals symmetrical about earth to be gated; and a plurality of the bi-stable switches may be arranged in a crossbar switching bank or in a matrix. T5 may be a thyristor.
