Abstract

An advanced binary decision machine (ABDM) is proposed. A BDM tests a Boolean input variable and branches according to the state of the input. The input, test, and branch operations are performed in one microinstruction. The architecture of the ABDM is shown. It consists of three main components: a control storage; a microsequencer; and an input/output (I/O) subsystem. The ABDM has a powerful instruction set and a high operating speed. It exhibits several features that are essential in complex on/off control applications, including forking, latching and unlatching of an entire input bank, outputting of either a scalar output or a vector output, looping, conditional looping, and nesting of subroutines.<>
