Abstract
In this paper, recent work in the design and application of bit-sliced microprocessor elements to front-end processing in data acquisition and control systems is discussed. A microprogrammed computing structure, based on commercially available Schottky TTL microprocessor slices, performs high speed subroutines at a basic operation time of 142 ns per microcycle. The structure operates in parallel with, and under the control of, a conventional microcomputer system, which is generally interfaced to a more complete system-minicomputer that actually performs the data acquisition or control task.
