Abstract
The feasibility of performing a fairly complex switching function using a few elementary transistor circuits is illustrated and experimentally verified. The specific function discussed is reversible binary counting. The mechanism used to achieve reversibility and the circuitry within each building block is described. Operating margins and suggestions for design improvements for systems application are given.
