Abstract:
A driving circuit for a bistable device comprising:a bistable device that has first and second complementary terminals and first and second stable states that are determined by the polarities of the signals applied to the first and second terminals; a third terminal for receiving an uninverted binary input signal that has a first value or a second value; a fourth terminal for receiving an inverted binary input signal that has a first value or a second value in complementary relationship to the values of the uninverted input signal; a fifth terminal for receiving a first trigger signal having one polarity; a sixth terminal for receiving a second trigger signal having the other polarity; means for connecting the sixth terminal to the first terminal and the fifth terminal to the second terminal to drive the bistable device into the first stable state when the uninverted binary input signal has the first value; and means for connecting the sixth terminal to the second terminal and the fifth terminal to the first terminal to drive the bistable device into the second stable state when the uninverted binary input signal has the second value.
