Abstract
The operating potential to a storage element is supplied via an impedance element connected between a source of operating potential and a first power terminal of the storage element adapted to receive an operating potential. Information is written into the storage element via a gating transistor having its conduction path connected between an input line and a data input point to the storage element. Write circuitry includes means connected between the first power terminal and the input line. During a write operation, the write circuit, while applying the desired bit of information to the cell input, causes current to flow through the impedance element lowering the potential across the flip-flop until the desired bit of information is written into the cell.
