DISCRETE LEVELS OF INTEGRATION AS AN AID IN THE DESIGN OF DIGITAL EQUIPMENTS.

Abstract

Directed toward functional large scale integration, a series of mathematical functions have been selected, and the corresponding hardware realizing these functions have been designed and implemented. Particular care has been taken to select the most useful and reliable, easily understood and maintained group of functional 'building blocks.' Among these are ratio and up-down ripple counters, parallel non-ripple counters, and a class of digital filters used for encoding and decoding pseudo-random binary sequences. The functions chosen can be implemented with microcircuits or in any form of large scale integration. A microcircuit package containing a ratio counter to convert a 100 kHz signal to a 60 Hz digital signal has also been built to demonstrate the ease of implementing the functional building blocks in microcircuit form.
