Bipolar junction transistors are at the frontiers of modern electronics owing to their discrete voltage regulated operational levels. Here we report a redox active binary logic gate (RLG) which can store a “0” and “1” with distinct operational levels, albeit without an external voltage stimuli. In the RLG, a shorted configuration of half-cell electrodes provided the logic low level and decoupled configuration relaxed the system to the logic high level due to self-charge injection into the redox active polymeric system. Galvanostatic intermittent titration and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance studies indicate the kinetics of self-charge injection are quite faster and sustainable in polypyrrole based RLG, recovering more than 70% signal in just 14 s with minor signal reduction at the end of 10000 cycles. These remarkable properties of RLGs are extended to design a security sensor which can detect and count intruders in a locality with decent precision and switching speed.
