TLDR
An efficient partitioning scheme based on current capability of MOS MSI technology was evolved in which four functional building blocks were defined for implementing computer digital architecture.Abstract:
An efficient partitioning scheme based on current capability of MOS MSI technology was evolved in which four functional building blocks were defined for implementing computer digital architecture. The partitioning employs a bit slice concept to define registers and a universal logic gate for general two-or three-variable logic. A look-ahead carry for fast arithmetic and a heavily buffered OR gate structure for the control section complete the partitioning elements. Microsequencing for instruction decoding is accomplished with a state graph implemented with register FBB flip-flops.read more

On the Tradeoff Between Logic Performance and Circuit-to-Pin Ratio for LSI
TL;DR: A power-law relationship between pins and partitioned circuits is discussed and empirical evidence is presented that implies that the pin requirement is a sensitive function of the performance level of the logic.

Single chip integrated circuit computer architecture
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a microcomputer architecture that facilitates a fully integrated circuit computer on a single integrated circuit chip, which includes use of an integrated circuit ROM for program storage, integrated circuit RAM or scratch pad memory for alterable operand storage, and integrated circuit logic.

Redundancy for LSI Yield Enhancement
E. Tammaru,J.B. Angell +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of treating groups of interconnected elements, rather than single gates, as the smallest units that are to be diagnosed and replaced with spares is proposed as a means for reducing the complexity (and the corresponding shrinkage) as well as the cost of discretionary interconnections.

Comparing MOS and bipolar integrated circuits
TL;DR: In terms of speed and speed/power performance, bipolar integrated circuits are superior to metal-oxide-semiconductor integrated circuits as discussed by the authors, which is based on the high transconductance inherent in bipolar transistors.

Large-scale integration from the user's point of view
M. G. Smith,W. A. Notz +1 more
TL;DR: The potential LSI user views LSI promise with a great deal of anticipation, but LSI problems with some trepidation, so as to relieve the strain of having to squeeze the last bit of cost or performance from the existing technological approaches.
