DIFF Subgroup
H03K 3/02

Generators characterised by the type of circuit or by the means used for producing pulses (H03K3/64 - H03K3/84 take precedence)

Introduced: September 1968

Title

Titles differ between systems:

IPC: Generators characterised by the type of circuit or by the means used for producing pulses

CPC: Generators characterised by the type of circuit or by the means used for producing pulses (H03K3/64 - H03K3/84 take precedence)

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Circuits for generating electric pulses; Monostable, bistable or multistable circuits > Generators characterised by the type of circuit or by the means used for producing pulses

CPC:

Circuits for generating electric pulses; Monostable, bistable or multistable circuits (H03K4/00 takes precedence; for digital function generators in computers G06F1/02) > Generators characterised by the type of circuit or by the means used for producing pulses (H03K3/64 - H03K3/84 take precedence)

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 20 subcodes exist in both systems.

7 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
