TIMED SWITCH CIRCUITS UTILIZING MINORITY CARRIER INJECTION IN A SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

摘要

A family of circuits characterized by storage mode operation in a switching circuit employs minority carrier injection from the base into the collector region of a semi-conductor device. The minority carrier charge stored in the collector thereafter causes amplified forward collector emitter current when forward collector potential is applied. Particular examples of the circuit family includes inverters, single shot circuits transistor oscillators and electronic switching in general.
