A 105-bit high-speed ferrite memory system: design and operation

Abstract

With the advancement of computer technology in recent years, the demand for a very-high-speed memory has greatly increased. Scratch-pad memories of smaller than 100 words with cycle times faster than 500 nano-seconds are commonly found in computers on the market. However, larger memories of the same speed range are not yet commercially available, due to the fact that the problems in building a large memory are much more complicated than those in building a small memory. These problems center around the transients generated in the digit sense system.
