DESIGN OF CIRCUITS FOR THE PATTERN ARTICULATION UNIT. Report No. 127
The Pattern Articulation Unit embodies a central core of 1024 identical processing modules called stalactites'' arranged in a two-dimensional array with only local connectivity. Two possible complete circuit realizations of the stalactite are described. Stalactites of either design contain about 50 transistors, 250 diodes, 250 resistors, and 50 capacitors. Stalactite organization, signal flow, the bubbling register connection, the requirements of a working register, design of stacking logic, mode of operation, circuit design, direct and conditional input, design of bubbling logic, complement circuits, output and circuit, up and down drivers, and cable diivers and terminators are described. Experimental verification of various components is discussed. (M.C.G.)
