  • Abstract
    Optically switchable pnpn semiconductor devices have been connected in parallel with a common load resistance. When illuminated, only that device with maximum input will turn on. The voltage across the other devices drops and inhibits their switching ability. With suitable biasing, the winning device can be recalled at any time.
