Abstract

A bipolar recovery circuit for a static random access memory cell is described. The circuit corrects reverse emitter-base breakdown which occurs in the known common base node writing recovery circuits. The circuit is simple, requiring little silicon chip area to fabricate. In a preferred embodiment, a separate recovery circuit is coupled to each of the true output line and the complement output line of the memory cell.
