High-Speed, Front-End Processing in Data-Acquisition Systems

摘要

This paper discusses recent work in the design and application of bit-sliced microprocessor elements to front-end processing in data acquisition and control systems. A microprogrammed computing structure, based upon commercially available Schottky TTL microprocessor slices, performs high-speed subroutines at a basic operation time of 142 ns/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.
