Capacitive integrator circuit using Silicon Controlled Switches /SCS/ insures output voltage linearly proportional to input pulse width. This circuit provides high input impedance and relatively low output impedance.
Reduction of the contact resistance stabilizes the values, over a broad temperature range, of resistors used in linear integrated circuits. This reduction is accomplished by p-plus diffusion under the alloyed aluminum contacts.
Miniaturized bandpass filter with RC networks is suitable for use in integrated circuits. The circuit consists of three stages of amplification with additional resistive and capacitive components to obtain the desired characteristics. The advantages of the active RC filter network are the reduction in size and weight and elimination of magnetic materials.
Multiconductor electrical cables retain their circuit integrity and remain flexible and abrasion resistant in severe environmental conditions of heat, vibration, and water.
Video signal processor uses special-purpose integrated circuits with nonsaturating current mode switching to accept texture and color information from a digital computer in a visual spaceflight simulator and to combine these, for display on color CRT with analog information concerning fading.
Electronic switch sets and resets integrator circuit to some initial condition using a grounded capacitor. This circuit also uses four equal resistors and an operational amplifier.
Pulse width/amplitude- and noise-sensors are updated to integrated circuit design concepts, and rise time/amplitude sensor design is reduced to an operational prototype to make all the sensors compatable for one system operation. Therefore, transients interfering with the design operation of receivers could be individually isolated and identified.
Redundant circuitry is added to computer network to eliminate incorrect output obtained due to a component failure, noise, or some other disturbance. This circuitry provides majority operation. Only NAND gates are employed, and the modules used are among the most popular microelectronic or integrated circuits presently in use.
Silicon Controlled Rectifier /SCR/ lamp driver is adapted for use in integrated circuit digital computers where it indicates the contents of the various registers. The threshold voltage at which visual indication begins is very sharply defined and can be adjusted to suit particular system requirements.
A small, low-power, high-speed, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter using silicon chip integrated circuits is suitable for use in airborne test data systems. The successive approximation method of analog-to-digital conversion is used to generate the digital output.
Piggy-back method of packaging integrated circuits will increase packaging density and design flexibility. It will also eliminate interconnection leads between the die and associated inductances, and thus increase the attainable frequency response of the circuit.
Process for fabricating integrated circuits uniformly deposits silicon epitaxially on prediffused substrates without affecting the sublayer diffusion pattern. Two silicon deposits from different sources, and deposited at different temperatures, protect the sublayer pattern from the silicon tetrachloride reaction.
