  • Selectable eight or twelve digit integrated circuit calculator and conditional gate output signal modification circuit therefor
    Patent number: 4041330
    Abstract: An integrated circuit calculator which can operate in either a twelve digit or an eight digit mode is provided. A conditional modification circuit modifies some of the memory addresses employed in the twelve digit calculator to provide the eight digit calculator with more random access memory registers than the 12 digit calculator. In the twelve digit calculator, the conditional modification circuit also controls folding of some memory registers in order to minimize the chip area required for the memory circuitry and control logic.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 1975
    Date of Patent: August 9, 1977
    Assignee: Rockwell International Corporation
    Inventors: John R. Spence, Bruce W. Kinney, Jr.
