Abstract

1379879 Semi-conductor data storage INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 1 Oct 1973 [1 Nov 1972] 45753/73 Heading H3T A storage cell consists of a charge storage device C12 and a bipolar transistor 11 in series, with a direct connection excluding any intervening circuit components between the base and a word line 16.1. C12 is discharged for a 1, and charged to about + 3 v. for a 0. To read out, T11 is made to conduct inversely by lines 14.1, 16.1, and if current flows to charge C12 meaning that it was initially discharged (1), this current flow is detected in line 14.1 at 15 to indicate the stored 1. A separate sense line (Fig. 4, not shown) may replace the earth connection to C12 (C47) in order to sense this current flow. After reading, C12 is thus left charged to about + 3 v. To write (or rewrite erased) data, T11 conducts normally, and C12 is discharged or not in accordance with a 1 or 0 level on bit line 14.1. The transistor may be connected inversely, Fig. 3 (not shown).
