    This document describes 50 variations of basic two-transistor circuits. The circuits are shown schematically with labels indicating the input, output, and transistors for each variation. The circuits utilize different configurations of the transistors such as changing the width/length ratios, adding bias voltages, and connecting the transistors in series or parallel to modify the input-output relationship. Taken together, the circuits demonstrate diverse methods for manipulating current or voltage flows using variations on a simple two-transistor design pattern.
