Abstract:
The electrical format of a common mode rejection digit circuit for a magnetic memory is changed for reading and writing memory operations by means of multilateral diode bridge switches. A memory word circuit is coupled through memory storage devices to a data digit circuit and two canceling digit circuits associated therewith. The sense of coupling to the canceling circuits is opposite to one another. During writing operations, the data circuit is operated with a canceling circuit which is coupled to the word circuit in opposite sense from the data circuit, and during reading the data circuit is operated with a canceling circuit which is coupled to the word circuit in the same sense as the data circuit to assure equality of opposed shuttle noises in the common mode rejection circuits.
Abstract:
A magnetic core memory wherein states of partial magnetization as well as magnetic saturation are employed. In the course of reading information from a core the core is first switched to one extreme state of magnetization to obtain a data readout pulse and subsequently the core is switched to the opposite state of magnetization to obtain a reference data pulse. The ratio of the magnitudes of the reference pulse and the data pulse is measured and is employed to define the state in which the core resided prior to interrogation. Cores are placed in a stable state either a state of partial magnetization or a state of full magnetization, by switching the core from one extreme state of magnetization to the other extreme state of magnetization to obtain a data reference pulse and subsequently the magnitude of this reference pulse is compared with the magnitude of the data pulse which is generated by the writing of new information into the core. The core drive which is employed for writing is terminated when the ratio between the latter data pulse and the reference data pulse has reached a desired ratio.
