Abstract :
The authors describe a recently designed CAMAC dual-port memory look-up module. The target application of this design was geometric pattern recognition in the trigger system of a collider experiment. The resulting module, however, has quite general applicability and expands considerably on the functionality of the LeCroy Model 2372. A high-density emitter-coupled-logic (ECL) fan-in module is discussed. This module can be manually configured to compute logical sums and products, and in effect functions as an ECL erasable programmable logic device
