fUGHT international, 28 May 1964 And is this what most engineers mean when they say APPLIED MICROELECTRONICS? It is called theD26J computer , Actually, the D26J is part of the FELICIA family of microelectronic ! computers designed and put in production by the Autonetics Division of North American Aviation. The FELICIA family of data processors has a reliability of thousands of hours of failure-free operations and a capacity far greater than the famed Autonetics VERDAN computer. With the same careful design engineering that produced the VERDAN and MINUTEMAN computers, FELICIAS are for advanced military applications. ; A central data processing member—the D26C — of the FELICIA family has a random access, magnetic core rremory which retains | 8,192 words (expandable to 32,768 words) and a rapid access I memory of 256 words, one microsecond cycle time. Its 30-bit | word format provides the precision required for most applications without requiring double precision subroutines. A minimal guidance machine, the D26J is 0,0042 cubic metres and weighs just 5,897 kilograms. Tha central data processing D26C is 0,0184 cubic meters and weighs 18,144 kilograms. The FELICIA family of computers is designed to combine high reliability and large capacity with building block flexibility. Their ease of maintainability assures total cost effectiveness. A related microelectronic computar is the D37B. Its rotating d'sk memory and 6,966 word capacity of 24 bits, already has been , tested and is in production for use in the WS-133B or MINUTE- | MAN II weapon system. I This is but one more example of how the engineers and sclen- ts at Autonetics are forging ahead in the field of aPP|ied mjcro- ^ectronics and total systems integration . . . another reason "tonetics is setting standards for the entire electronics industry.
