Junction Transistor Switching Circuits for High-Speed Digital Computer Applications

This paper describes junction transistor switching circuits capable of reliable operation at a clock rate of one megacycle. These circuits, consisting of a flip-flop, a gated pulse amplifier, and diode gates, consume a minimum of power and operate over a temperature range of ¿55° C to +85°C with complete transistor interchangeability. Applications of these circuits to binary counters, shift registers, and accumulators are also presented.
