A bistable logic device, of the RSTT type, operating up to X band. The bistable logic device is organized into three stages: an input stage of four NOR operators (21, 31, 41, 51), a second stage of two OR operators (61, 71) and an output stage of two OR operators (62, 72). Each NOR operator of the input stage drives in parallel an OR operator of the second stage and an OR operator of the output stage. Each of the four OR operators are fed back to an input of one of the four NOR operators of the input stage. The organization in logic NOR/OR form makes it possible to use faster single gate transistors. The present invention may be particularly useful to frequency dividers for interfacing between signals at GHz frequency and measurement and control circuits at MHz frequency.

In the field of large-scale-integrated digital GaAs circuits, a high-entrance high-speed logical operator utilizing so-called 'quasi-normally-off' Schottky-gate field-effect transistors (MESFETS) having a low threshold voltage. By means of a single very-high-speed logic gate, the operator thus performs AND - NAND - OR functions by utilizing in an input branch a saturable resistive load in series with a pair of quasi-normally-off MESFET's each having a maximum of two Schottky gates, the drains of the transistors being connected to an output transistor of the same type. Two identical portions of circuit are mounted in parallel with an output half-branch comprising a diode in series with another saturable resistive load.

A high-speed logic inverter, in the form of an integrated circuit, with a single supply source, using field-effect transistors of the 'quasi-normally-off' type, and the logic operators having several inputs and several outputs which derive therefrom. One embodiment of the invention starts from an inverter with input, through a diode, on a field-effect transistor gate, and with its output at the source of a field-effect transistor. This basic diagram is added to by providing the input (between supply pole and input terminal) with two pairs of diodes ending at the gates of a dual-gate transistor, and by providing independent outputs obtained by connecting the common drain connected transistor gates to the supply pole distinct from ground.

A logic inverter using field-effect transistors of the 'normally off' or 'quasi normally off' type with relatively wide tolerance on the threshold voltage. It comprises a first half-stage comprising a field-effect transistor with low threshold voltage, whose source, instead of being connected to ground, is connected to the gate of a second transistor placed in a second half-stage in series with a diode which plays an essential role in the switching of the inverter.

A memory cell as required for use in the building of integrated memories, which contains bistable trigger stages formed by two transistors, with a high operational reliability, a low power consumption and an access time of less than 0.01 microseconds for a store of 64 elements, is provided. To this end, low-consumption field-effect transistors are chosen, obtained by the ion implantation of an N-type channel, in order, in each cell, to form, in addition to the two transistors of the trigger stage, a pair of transistors connected as amplifier-followers. The selection of a cell is effected by raising the potential on the word line connected to the sources of the transistors of the trigger stage.
