Abstract

A CAMAC dual-port memory lookup module recently designed at the University of South Carolina is described. The target application of this design was geometric pattern recognition in the trigger system of a collider experiment. The resulting module, however, has a quite general applicability and expands considerably on the functionality of the LeCroy Model 2372. A high-density emitter coupled logic fan-in module is also described. This module can be manually configured to compute logical sums and products and in effect functions as an ECL erasable programmable logic device.<>
