Abstract
Abstract In a broad band signal spaced coupling device comprising a cross point matrix whose switching matrix elements are respectively controllable by a decoder-controlled, cross point-associated memory cell, the cross points are respectively formed with a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transfer gate and the useful signal input of each such gate is preceded by a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor inverter.
