Abstract

The high-speed operation of the monostable-bistable transition logic element (MOBILE) flip-flop (FF) circuit at room temperature is presented. This circuit consists of two serially connected negative differential resistance (NDR) devices capable of peak current modulation. The oscillatory varying bias voltage produces the mono-to-bistable transition and works as a clock signal. A small difference in the peak current between the two-NDR devices determines the circuit's state after transition. This indicates the promise of MOBILE-based FF circuits for high-speed digital applications.
