A memory cell having two transistors, each transistor having two emitters, a base, and a collector; the bases and the collectors of the transistors are cross-coupled; by the application of a first signal to one of the emitters of each of the two transistors simultaneously, and a second signal at the same time to the other emitter of only one of the two transistors, the transistor having the second signal at its emitter is placed in a conducting state so that data is stored in the cell having the actuated emitter.
