A bubble memory module
A bubble memory module design providing flexibility for many user applications in spacecraft data recording is described. The memory module can be used with user-designed controllers with the memory organization determined by the application. Asynchronous data rates from zero to 1.33 Mbits/sec at minimum power are accomplished by using 8-chip memory cells with 100 K bit serial chips. The memory module is expandable from a 4 x 2 cell matrix to a 4 x 16 cell matrix corresponding to an expandable capacity of 6.55 M to 52.4 M bits. The module's design, utility in various memory systems, and user clocking scheme are described.
