Propagation of Sense Signals in Large-Scale Magnetic Thin Film Memories

A dynamic analysis has been made of the behavior of PREAMPv sense signals in large-scale magnetic thin film memories. The timed V5 REF. COEF. effects of attenuation, distortion, cross coupling and interconnection /'AZ are superimposed on the transmitted waveforms. The computed signals can be used as a design guide to determine the length of sense lines, the number of intersecting word lines, the sense amplifier red quirements, etc. The key limiting factors are the resistance of lines D and the capacitance at the line intersections. Design criteria are Fig. 1. An ideal sense line. discussed.
