DEFINITION

Classification: 327/217

RS or RST type input:

(under subclass 215) Subject matter wherein the multivibrator has two inputs (the "R" and "S") in the RS case and also a third (the "T" input) in the RST case and which inputs determine the output state of the multivibrator according to the following guidelines: (a) if the "S" is "HIGH" then the multivibrator will go to the "HIGH" state; (b) if the "R" is "HIGH", then the multivibrator will go to the "LOW" state; and (c) if there is a "T" input present and it is "HIGH", the multivibrator will change state from its previous value.

(1) Note. A "HIGH" on both the "R" and the "S" inputs

simultaneously is not permitted.

(2) Note. The "HIGH" state can be considered analogous to a logic "1" and the "LOW" state can be considered analogous to a logic "0."
