Title: Core memory with noise suppression
IPC: G11C11/06
Filed: 1975-02-05
Abstract: 1475653 Magnetic core stores AMPEX CORP 5 Feb 1975 [19 Feb 1974] 4883/75 Heading H3B In a magnetic core memory, a pair of sense conductors thread respective groups of cores between a sensor and a point at which an electric circuit is connected to one or both sense conductors to minimize the effects of noise. Memories having a pair of sense-inhibit conductors connected at the drive end for differential sensing require the imposition of an idle time (e.g. 340 nsec.) between a write and a subsequent read operation to allow inhibit pulses stored in the conductors and successively reflected between the drive and sense ends owing to line imbalance to decay to a level (e.g. 5 mV) below the differential sense voltages involved in read-out. Therefore, apair of integrated ordiscrete anti-parallel Schottky diodes such as 90, 92, Fig. 5, is connected between the sense-inhibit pair 80 so that for common mode inhibit pulses above a threshold (200 mA) the diodes act as a short circuit across an intermediate part of the transmission line so reducing the reflection propagation time and causing the noise components to be of a higher frequency (40 MHz) which can be dissipated within the cores but without affecting sense voltages which are at a lower level (13-40 mV peak). The store Fig. 1 is a 5 x 4 matrix of 16K store arrays 0-19 threaded by groups of row conductors X0-X63, X64-X127 and column conductors Y0, Y1 &c. terminating in peripherals 22 and edge connectors 24. In each array, such as the bottom right array 2, two sense-inhibit conductor pairs S2A, S2A (and S2B, S2B) divide the array into halves A and B. The pairs thread through the cores parallel to the columns with cross-connections at top, bottom and between the X63 and X64 row conductors. The cores are in double herringbone configuration in each array and are in oppositely directed orientations in the upper and lower halves of the columns. Loops of the pairs pass through apertures in the circuit panel 10 to be soldered to terminal pads (34-40, Fig. 3, not shown) on the rear and the diodes are also soldered to these pads to interconnect the conductor pairs as in Fig. 5. The commoned left hand ends of the pairs are coupled through diodes 72, 78 to a common inhibit drive source 4I and the differential sense ends are terminated in matching resistors 86, 88, 89 and diodes 83, 84 acting as a shunt for common mode sense-inhibit currents which might otherwise damage the comparators 70, 76.

Parallel arms 22, 24 inter-connect the seat frame 16 and the base frame 2. The valve 42 is automatically operable to selectively connect the air spring 12 to a source of air-pressure via a conduit 40 or to atmosphere via a port 48, or to prevent air entering or leaving the air spring depending upon whether the seat frame 16 moves downwardly or upwardly from a position set by the handle 60. The strut 70 is connected to the handle 60 and the link 73 by pin and slot lost-motion inter-connections, and a spring 92 urges the handle and link pivots towards one another. The connection between the link 73 and the valve element 50 is by another pin and slot lost-motion inter-connection to permit limited resilient oscillation of the seat frame 16 without operation of the valve 42. A stop 120 limits downward and upward movement of the seat frame 16 by abutment with the arms 24 and 22, respectively. A fluid shock absorber (130), Fig. 2 (not shown), is pivotally connected to the seat frame 16 and to a crank (133) adjustably mounted in the base frame 2.
