Abstract
A cross-coupled latch circuit in which first and second switching transistors are each connected as a current mirror with a diode. The base of each switching transistor is cross-coupled to the collector of the other switching transistor by a resistor and a diode. The collector of each switching transistor is connected to the voltage source terminal by a resistor. The switching transistors are prevented from saturating in their low states so as to increase switching speed.
