Triad Computer.
Abstract
The Triad computer is a third-generation, general purpose, ground programmable digital computer used in the Triad satellite as a real-time controller operating under a priority interrupt system. It consists of a data processor, a memory section, and a power processor. The data processor uses standard and medium scale TTL integrated circuits on high density multilayer boards. The memory section, with a cycle time of 2.4 microsec consists of a 4K-word-by-16-bit aerospace memory stack and hybrid circuitry for address selection and digit sensing, plus a read-only memory containing a bootstrap loader program. The power processor provides power storage plus power level selection under program control. (Modified author abstract)
