Insertion Demonstrations of Digital Gallium Arsenide. OBP-80 Final Technical Report. Volume 1. Chip Set Schematics
Abstract:
The OBP-80 is an Engineering Development Model EDM of a bit slice computer constructed by Martin Marietta Space Systems for the Naval Research Laboratory. The contract was performed in cooperation with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency technology insertion program for digital gallium arsenide. This system has been developed to demonstrate, in a laboratory environment, an architecture that can be used to perform advanced signal processing functions onboard a spacecraft. Primary emphasis is placed on the transfer of an existing CMOS architecture to a higher performance, more radiation tolerant technology of Gallium Arsenide. This volume provides the schematic data which was used to generate the physical design of all seven VLSI components used in the OBP-80 EDM. It also presents top level graphical representations of the seven components.
