  • Successive approximation and shift register without redundancy
    Patent number: 5859608
    Abstract: A successive approximation shift register without redundancy for a finite-state machine of the sequential type, is also effective to store the machine states. The shift register comprises a chain of logic circuits of the bistable type (FF0,FF1, . . . ) having an input stage with selectable signal inputs which are feedback connected through logic OR gate circuits (OR0,OR1, . . . ,OR6).

  • D flip-flop having asynchronous data loading
    Patent number: 5789957
    Abstract: A flip-flop of the D type capable of loading data asynchronously and comprising two latches, a master and a slave one, connected in series with each other, is characterized in that each of these comprises an interface and selection circuit for input signals transferable in either the synchronous or the asynchronous manner, and a logic gate circuit which is input such signals and, in an asynchronous manner, control signals effective to establish the latch own states.
