Abstract

Abstract Arrangement for indicating back currents in a viz. matrix built up by means of bistable elements in the crossing points. In diodes of the type generally used in diode matrices normally a certain back current is existing. As long as the back current is low it will not disturb the function of the diode matrix, but if it should be too high it can occur that faulty crossing points are indicated. The arrangement makes it possible to indicate back currents in a diode matrix of a special type, viz. built up by means of a bistable element and two diodes in each crossing point.
