This thesis describes the adder to be used with the Galaxy computer, which is to be constructed at Oregon State University.
The need for faster, more reliable adders is discussed
along with previous adder designs related to the
Galaxy Fast Carry Adder.
Both the logical design and circuit design of...
A circuit designed to generate and maintain a constant magnetic
flux is presented by using a sample-data control system, instead of a
continuous control system.
A Hall generator is used as the magnetic sensing element, and
is operated with a pulse bias to allow a large output. The output of...
This paper describes an inverter design which provides voltage
regulation against variations in both the input voltage and load impedance.
This design modifies the so-called parallel inverter, which
consists of two silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) operating in a
push-pull arrangement, to include a third regulating SCR. This
regulating SCR is...
The operation of a tunnel-diode delay-line memory cell is
examined in some detail, and a digital computer program which
approximately simulates the operation of this memory cell is developed.
The data from the computer simulation is compared with the
available experimental data and found to agree very closely for clock...
The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct,
program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test
system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted
to digital integrated circuits. The general concept
of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on
the truth table of that circuit. A combination...
It is often necessary in communication systems to detect very
small signals that are buried in noise. One device used to accomplish
this is a lock-in amplifier. Initially the theory of operation is considered.
Then the circuit design of a low cost lock-in amplifier is
given. The amplifier, employing linear...
In this paper the characteristics of multi-conductor transmission
lines have been investigated for a variety of termination conditions
by using the differential equations and matrix methods.
Equations showing the characteristics of traveling waves along loss-less
multi-conductor systems are derived.
Line parameters were evaluated by experiments and by calculations.
The results...
The junction-field effect transistor has been improved technically,
so it is appropriate in analog switching applications. In this
paper, use of a junction FET as an analog switch is described.
Feedthrough of current from the gate control voltage causes a
noise at the output during the switching transient. Peak noise...
This thesis is concerned with the design of the high speed tape
read-out and tape feed control circuits and interface to the PDP-8/L
Computer system, The system was designed to operate under the
programmed data transfer mode of the computer, and is compatible
with the computer manufacturer's system.
The circuit...
