Abstract :
In this paper, we present the realization of a 5-stage divider circuitry in a p-type polymer transistor technology using thin film transistors with pentacene as active layer. The supply voltage of the circuits is -15V and +5V, respectively. The polymer transistors work in a depletion mode and therefore level shifter stages are needed to assure a digital logic functionality. The whole circuitry consists of 225 transistors, which is a remarkable number of transistors within the field of organic circuitry
