Advanced Computer Technology - I (ACT I).
Abstract
The primary specific goal of this program was to design, process and test four LSIC (Large Scale Integrated Circuit) parts which were representative of those needed for an advanced missile guidance computer. Two LSIC parts were to be appropriated to the CPU (Central Processor Unit) of the computer, and two were to be appropriate to the Memory Unit of the computer. The specific parts are a 4-bit slice GPU(General Processor Unit), a 256 word by 4-bit wide MPROM(Mask Programmable Read-Only Memory), a 256 word by 4-bit wide PSM (nonvolatile slow-write Permanent Store Memory for program store) and a 512 word by 1-bit wide TSM (nonvolatile fast-write Temporary Store Memory for scratchpad/data store). These four LSIC parts were designed, processed and tested on this program. This activity was preceeded by a Basic Parts phase. It involved the design, process and evaluation of test vehicles to establish the necessary baseline of design rules and process sequences to meet the performance requirements on the LSIC parts.
