PULSE COUNTING AND FAST SCALING TRANSISTOR CIRCUITS

Journal Article · · J. Brit. Inst. Radio Engrs.
The present state of fast transistor scaling circults is reviewed and typical designs given for: (I) a frequency divider stage for regular pulses; (2) aperiodic binary circuits for both slow and fast (100 Mc/p.r.f.) operation; (3) modification of a 4 binary scale-of-16 to a decade scaler operating at 10 Mc; (4) general purpose bistable plus AND gates circuits for use in pulse data processing applications as an add and subtract binary scaler or alternatively for gating pulse timing trains up to 8 Mc repetition rates. The present maximum repetitive pulse counting rates of scaler design is about 200 Mc but these rates may be exceeded with the use of faster transistors or tunnel diode circuits. (auth)
