2 1/2 D High Speed Memory SystemsߝPast, Present, and Future

A ferrite core memory system organization is discussed which offers a significant improvement in performance as well as a lower cost potential in larger memory sizes. Significant differences relative to other memory organizations are presented. The diode decoded drive system is discussed in some detail, presenting a frequency domain approach to memory system resonances. A particular system is described and the directions for future system development are presented.
