Gates in an old MOS chip

Hello,



I have schematics of an MOS chip from early 80's. There are three things in the logic gates reference (see

formatting link
which I don't understand:


  1. What do the numbers mean (e.g. 19/6 and 7/35 for the C gate) ?


  1. What is the symbol that looks like an inverter with an additional wire near the circle (gates S, J, V, Y, K, N, O, P) ?

  2. How do "input couplers" work?

Thanks in advance, Piotr



Standard notation is W/L, each in microns. Your drawing must be old high voltage stuff.

Don't know, never seen that symbology before. Maybe tri-state ??

Don't know what that means either.
