The ferroresonant trigger pair: Analysis and design

The phenomenon of nonlinear resonance can be utilized in the design of a trigger pair which uses neither vacuum tubes nor transistors, is capable of highspeed operation, and operates with electrical input and output signals. This article outlines the analysis of the basic circuit to a first approximation only, and design relations are derived. Experimental data are also given. Applications of the circuit described may be found in the logic components of digital data-handling apparatus.
