    Abstract: A multipath encoder-decoder arrangement which consists of a plurality of storage devices such as memory cells, for example, which can be shifted from one series configuration into at least a second series configuration. The storage devices or at least a portion of them are switched from a first series path to a second series path. In one configuration, the outputs of all the storage devices are switched to the input of a succeeding storage device in a first path to the input of a different storage device in a second series path. In another embodiment, only a portion of the storage devices in one path are switched to form a series arrangement of storage devices in a second path in conjunction with fixed interconnections between certain other of the storage devices. By simply switching between paths, the order of information can be changed, i.e., interleaved, in such a way that errors which occur in bursts when transmitting data are spread out over the entire message with an inter-error space large enough to improve error correction. By providing control means which controls the shifting of data along the series configurations and the switching between configurations, in accordance with a given key, it is possible to scramble transmitted data at various levels of complexity. The complexity at one level, for example, is provided by a feedback loop connected between the input and output of the series configurations which permits data held in the series paths to be changed in both position and polarity. Another level of complexity can be achieved by modifying the key with another key which has been logically combined with previously transmitted encoded data. After transmission, the data is received and unscrambled in a similar encoder-decoder arrangement except that the decoding process is effectively reversed.

    Abstract: YO987-018 HIGH-PERFORMANCE, HIGH-DENSITY CMOS DECODER/DRIVER CIRCUIT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORIES A high performance decoder/driver circuit for a semiconductor memory having Al to AN (true) and ?? to ?? (complement) address lines for receiving Al to AN address bit signals thereon from internal address buffers. A .PHI.PC line is included for receiving a .PHI.PC precharge clock signal thereon and a .PHI.R line is provided for receiving a .PHI.R reset clock signal thereon. The decoder/driver circuit includes an OR decoder means having a plurality of transistor switching devices connected to Al to AN-1 or ?? to of the true and complement address lines for the AN to AN-1 address bits for producing a high or low level signal on an OR decoder output node depending on the address bits state.

    Abstract: A multi-loop multiplex communication system is disclosed wherein a plurality of remote transmitting terminals are connected via a loop to a system controller and wherein a plurality of remote receivers are connected via a second loop to the same system controller. In operation, all communications between devices associated with the first loop, the second loop and the system controller are carried out via assigned time slots in a system time frame. Under control of the system controller, all communications between devices associated with the first loop and devices associated with the second loop are carried out via non-assigned time slots in the system time frame. When device-to-device communications are being carried out, means are provided at the system controller for connecting the first and second loop in series converting the two loops from their essentially parallel operation when devices associated with either loop interact with the system controller. In one embodiment, a variable time delay is provided at the system controller called a compensation delay which, regardless of the loop lengths, in conjunction with the propagation delay, makes the total delay a constant value. This permits the use of the same assigned time slot by the transmitter and receiver associated with a given device and which are connected to different loops. In another embodiment, the delay arrangement is eliminated by providing a third cable which is in parallel with both loops and which provides a bit, byte and frame synchronization for all devices associated with both loops. In the latter arrangement, however, device-to-device communication is still carried out using nonassigned time slots while device-to-system controller and system controller-to-device communications are still carried out on assigned time slots. A controller switching arrangement is shown along with an example of a typical terminal device and, further, a method for operating the multi-loop multiplex communication system is disclosed.

    Abstract: A C-2C analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter is described, the C-2C designation referring to the arrangement of capacitance in a capacitor ladder network. The capacitors are formed in a monolithic, multilayer structure which includes a substrate, diffusion regions in the substrate, a polysilicon layer and an aluminum layer wherein the capacitances are formed between the aluminum layer and the polysilicon layer and between the polysilicon layer and the diffusion region, and these capacitances have the ratio of 2C to C respectively. The capacitor ladder network formed in the multilayer structure can be trimmed or adjusted electrically after manufacture to obtain the desired tolerances.
