Abstract :
Speed limits of decimal counting schemes based on binary-to-decimal conversion are considered. A simple "1-2-4-8" decimal logic is described, which is inherently as fast as the basic bistable. A decade for counting in 100-200 Mc/sec range, based on this logic and the tunnel diode-transistor bistable, is presented.
