Tunnel diode storage system with non-destructive read-out

摘要

A brief survey of some tunnel diode storage systems is presented and a description of a particular system with a non-destructive read-out feature is given. The design of this system is discussed in some detail, and an assessment of the operating margins is included. In a unit of 128 words of 24 digits per word a read access time of 150 m????????s is indicated with a read cycle time of 250 m????????s. The write cycle time is 330 m????????s.
