Abstract

842,352. Transistor logical circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 23, 1956 [May 25, 1955], No. 15904/56. Class 40(6). [Also in Group XXXVI] A two collector junction emitter transistor (see Group XXXVI) is used to perform a number of logical functions. When the collectors of such a transistor are connected to a common bias source through different load resistors, as in Fig. 6, it is possible to arrange that when one unit of emitter current flows only one of the collectors conducts, that with two units of emitter current the first collector saturates and current is transferred to the second collector to the exclusion of the first collector, and that three units of emitter current saturate the second collector and cause the first collector to conduct in addition. If inputs of zero and unit current, representing digits 0 and 1 respectively, are applied at terminals 21, 22, 23 the circuit acts as a full binary adder with gain. If, on the other hand, a function selection signal of one unit of current is maintained at one terminal the "AND" and "EXCLUSIVE OR" conditions are indicated by conduction in collectors 9 and 8 respectively. If a function selection signal of one unit is applied at one terminal the "OR" and "IF AND ONLY IF" conditions are indicated by current in collectors 9 and 8 respectively. With a function selection signal of one unit of current applied at 23 and zero units at 22 the "NOT" condition is indicated by current in collector 8. With the load resistors adjusted so that each of the collectors is saturated by less than two units of input current and with a continuous zero input at terminal 23 the "OR" and "AND" conditions are indicated by current in collectors 8 and 9 respectively. By lowering the load resistance in the circuit of collector 9 so that at least three units of emitter current are required to saturate it, and applying a function selection signal of one unit at terminal 23, the "NEITHER" condition is indicated by current in collector 8. If, on the other hand, the load in the circuit of collector 8 is lowered so that it saturates when the emitter current lies between 2 and 3 units, and a function selection signal of one unit applied at 23, current in collector 8 indicates the "NOT BOTH" condition. The circuit can be made to act as a memory device by feeding the output of collector 8 back to one of the input terminals and adjusting the loads so that between 2 and 3 units of input current are required to saturate collector 8. When one unit of current is applied to one of the input terminals collector 8 conducts and the feedback maintains the current when the input current is removed. Read-out may be accomplished non-destructively at terminals 32, 33, or destructively by applying a read-out unit pulse of input current to switch the current to collector 9 and sensing at terminals 30, 31. At the end of the read-out pulse due to the absence of feedback from collector 9 both collectors become non- conductive. Erasure is effected by means of a negative input impulse.
