Abstract :
A new tunnel-diode ring counter is proposed. Each stage consists of a suitably biased tunnel diode serving as the memory element and a transistor performing the dual function of input driver and current switching between adjacent stages. The counter is expected to operate at rates up to 1 GHz.
