Abstract
A gated binary signal transmission circuit in a field effect semiconductor chip comprises a single signal-pass transistor connected between a bit signal input to one of its electrodes and a bit signal output from another of its electrodes. Its control electrode is connected for temporary energizations by switching circuitry operative only at prescribed intervals, the single signal-pass transistor being operative to pass signals between such energizations of its control electrode. Conduction of the single-pass transistor between energizations will persist, though with some decay, due to inherent capacitance and the control electrode being left 'floating' between energizations.
