Abstract :
Several transistor pulse-regenerative amplifier circuits suitable for use in a 3 megacycle digital computer are described. These circuits all utilize a type of feedback which is essentially external to the transistor. As a consequence, a negative resistance transistor characteristic is not required. Some of these circuits were designed specifically to be relatively tolerant of the slow recovery of reverse impedance found in many germanium diodes.
