FAILSAFE CIRCUITS. Report No. 120

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4791053
Fallsafe circuits are examined. In the circuits considered, the components are resistors, capacitors, inductors, connecting wires, and transistors. The investigation and mathematical analysis presented are limited to cases of single transistor failures. However, it is shown that fallsafe circuits can withstand any single resistor, capacitor, or transistor failure, and that the failure indicator will signal any resistor or transistor which has ceased to operate.
