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 data storing apparatus in which a magnetic storing means includes magnetic memory cells for memorizing data of a first value or a second value. Input data is written to the memory cells separately or simultaneously by electromagnetic induction. One or more magnetic memory cells are selected, with respect to which the data is to be read or written. Each magnetic memory cell has a ferromagnetic body holding the data of the first value or the second value in accordance with direction of magnetization or magnetizing force thereof. The current control means performs the reading or writing of the data with respect to the selected magnetic cells. The current control means comprises semiconductor devices and controls current therethrough in both directions.

Abstract:
A read and write drive system is disclosed for a 21/2D coincident current magnetic core memory of the type in which for each word bit, bit lines threaded through the magnetic cores are arranged in a matrix of M groups, each of N bit lines. The drive system includes for the bit line matrix of each word bit a separate set of M write drive switches, and for n matrices of n different word bits, wherein n .gtoreq. 2, M read sink switches, N read drive switches and N write sink switches. These switches are used to apply 1/2 drive current through selected bit lines, during the read operation, to read out the n word bits of a selected word and to apply 1/2 drive current to independently store either a binary 1 or a binary 0 in each of the n word bits. The total number of switches, required for n word bits, is M(n+1) + 2N switches.

Abstract:
A large, 2 wire, 21/2D core memory includes four, 1K (1024) by 1280, core frames with 1280 Y conductors each stringing and inductively coupling a column of 1024 cores in each of the four frames and 4K orthogonal X conductors each stringing and inductively coupling one row of 1280 cores. A word position within the memory is defined by 5 pairs of Y conductors, a corresponding X conductor from each frame, and selection of relative current directions in the Y conductors. Reading of a 20 bit word is accomplished with 5 sense amplifiers in four rapid succession read sub-operations. Writing is accomplished in two sub-operations by separately controlling partial select digit currents in each of the 5 pairs of Y conductors. A bidirectional X drive and switching arrangement utilizes overlapping X drive currents and shared circuitry to maximize memory speed and reduce electronic components costs.
