Abstract

1,004,988. Thin film storage matrices. INTERNATIONAL COMPUTERS & TABULATORS Ltd. Sept. 21, 1962 [Oct. 10, 1961], No. 36324/61. Heading H3B. A thin film element receives a driving pulse from a thin film driving element by means of a low inductance loop which couples the elements. In the thin film memory described the storage areas are defined in thin magnetic films 22 by digit conductors 25, sense conductors 26 and word conductors 24. Each word conductor 24 is connected to the aluminium substrate 21 at each of its ends and is also coupled to a driving element constituted by an area of a second film 23. Each driving element is coupled to three further conductors; a bias conductor 29 which is coupled to all driving elements of the matrix, a plane select conductor 30 coupled to each driving element of a plane and a word position conductor 31 which is coupled to one element of each plane. The bias conductor 29 biases each driving element well into a hard direction so that currents in both conductors 30 and 31 are required to switch the element and thus drive the elements of the appropriate word on film 22 to a position within a few degrees of the hard direction. The elements are then read out on sense conductors 26 or written into by currents in the digit conductors 25. The conducting substrates 21 may be replaced by insulating boards if return conductors are provided for the word conductors 24. The planes of the three-dimensional matrix may be arranged parallel to each other with the conductors extending, with their insulating layers 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, in serpentine manner from plane to plane. The present driving method may also be applied to a shift register or to logical circuits. To produce adequate drive field the film 23 may have twice the thickness of film 22.
