Title: Cylindrical magnetic domain memory
IPC: H03M7/00
Filed: 1972-06-08
Abstract: 1367475 Magnetic storage arrangements INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 8 June 1972 [30 June 1971] 26704/72 Heading H3B A memory system arranged for selective read out utilizes a single magnetic sheet 10, Fig. 1, in which cylindrical magnetic domains may be propagated, the sheet providing 2N shift registers, a read decoder which permits the information content of a selected single register to advance to a read out detector 32, and a clear means 26 which determines whether the stored information is to be destructively read out, or whether each domain in turn is split so that the information content passes back through a return loop 44 into the interrogated register. New information is entered into the registers through domain generators 18-1 to 18-2N under the control of 2N write sources 20. Writing, decoding and clearing is controlled by a control circuit 30, while a normal bias field source 12 and an in-plane rotating magnetic propagating field source 14 are controlled by a circuit 16. Domain propagation is effected by the combination of the rotating field and an overlay pattern of permalloy T and I bars, a portion of one propagation channel at the end of a single shift register 14 being shown in Fig. 4. Included in this Figure are some of a set of decoder loops D 1 , D 1 <SP>1</SP>...D 4 , D 4 <SP>1</SP> common to all the shift registers, an energized loop being effective to deflect a left-to-right propagated domain 53 to the downwards direction in those paths in which the loop broadens into a pad. By selectively energizing the decoder loops in accordance with a binary decimal code, Fig. 3 (not shown), propagated domains in one register only are permitted to pass through the decoder zone to a clear loop, the domains in the other registers being deflected at some point in their progress through the zone so that they enter a reverse direction pattern of T and I bars forming the return loop 44. If the clear loop is energized the domains of the selected register are deflected upwards (direction 38), and pass along T bars 58 to a read out detector 32 and an extended domain erasing bar 66; the detector comprising a magneto resistive element 62 or an inductive or magneto-optic device. On the other hand with the clear loop unenergized the domains pass directly to a domain splitter 36-14 (direction 40) which utilizes T bars on both surfaces of the magnetic sheet. Of the split domains, one set passes to the detector 32 (direction 42) and the other proceeds along the return loop 14.
