Abstract
A block oriented random access memory (BORAM) magnetic bubble domain system which provides increased throughput of information and reduced access or read time for the same information as compared to existing major-minor or decoder accessed chip organizations which it is designed to replace.
Claims20
In combination,
- at least one storage loop,
- generator means for producing data,
- transfer means interposed between said storage loop and said generator means for selectively transferring data from said generator means to a first location in said storage loop in response to a first signal,
- merging means,
- propagation path means connected to said generator means and to said merging means which forms a second location in said storage loop,
- said transfer means selectively transferring data from said first location in said storage loop to said propagation path means in response to a second signal,
- detector means, and
- replicate means for selectively nondestructively transferring data from said propagation path means to said detector means.

A block organized random access memory system including
- detector means, and
- a plurality of chip organizations each comprising
- storage loop means,
- generator means,
- propagation path means connected to said storage loop means,
- transfer means arranged to selectively transfer information from said generator means to one of said propagation path means and said storage loop means and from said storage means to said propagation path means,
- replicate means for selectively replicating information from said propagation path means to said detector means, and
- annihilate means for selectively destroying information in said propagation path means.
