  • Patent number: 4734884
    Abstract: A magnetic bubble memory system with a write protecting function is disclosed. In a power on reset mode or initiallizing mode of an information handling system including the bubble memory system, a bubble memory controller directs to and stores in its own memory, an information representative of a write protecting range for a bubble memory device, from a hidden memory region of the bubble memory device. The bubble memory controller compares the write protecting range to the information designating the address range of the bubble memory device in which a new information is to be written, in response to the write command from a host central processing unit. As a result of the comparison, if the both address ranges overlap each other, the bubble memory controller will execute the write protection and generate a write protection error message for the host CPU.

  • Patent number: 4550388
    Abstract: In a magnetic bubble memory device in which magnetic bubbles are propagated under influence of a rotating magnetic field, a method of controlling a stop operation of a rotating magnetic field in which magnetic field is caused to further rotate beyond the stop direction for a predetermined over-rotation angle and is then caused to return to the stop direction which is followed by the removal of the magnetic field, is presented. The over-rotation angle is in a range of 10 to 40 degrees. The invention is applicable whether bubble drive is performed using a drive current of triangular, square or trapezoidal waveform.

  • Patent number: 4310898
    Abstract: The driving circuit for supplying current to coils for generating a rotating magnetic field is divided into a switch side circuit and a driver side circuit so as to pass current through only one of the coils. Each of the switch side circuit and the driver side circuit is constituted by a number of component circuits. The driving circuit comprises (N+M) component circuits for driving (N.times.M) coil circuits, where N represents the number of the component circuits of the switch side circuit and M that of the component circuits of the driver side circuit whereby additional coils may be driven without multiplying the number of driving circuits.
