Microthyristor based sequential circuits and systems

In this paper we constructed new circuit configurations for some sequential circuits. These circuits are based on the microthyristors as a microelectronic bistable device that can store logic one and logic zero, and NMOS transistors that act either as pass transistors or drivers. The shift register as a main type of sequential circuits is developed from a D flip-flop that is designed basically from the microthyristor as a storing element are developed. Microthyristor sequential circuits were found to perform well compared with those constructed from the standard logic families.
