ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS PERFORMING A SWITCHING FUNCTION

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4741152

A circuit is designed for switching at high speeds which as one possible application in temperature measurements from a large number of thermocouple points in a reactor. The circuit comprises a counting valve, load resistances connected between the electrodes of the valve and a first output terminal common to all load resistances, an adjustable tapping point on each load resistance, and unidirectional conducting devices for conduction from the tapping points to respective terminals of two-terminal points, the other terminals being connected together to a second output terminal. A circuit for covering more than the maximum number of cathodes in a single valve is also described. (D.L.C.)
