Entering MIL-HDBK-217 Bubble Memory Integrated Circuits
The following table describes the part parameters required for the Bubble Memory subcategory when a MIL-HDBK-217 model is selected for the calculation.
Parameter
Type
Type
Type
Choice List [Parts Count also]
The type of device. The choices are:
Nonseed Bubble Generator
Seed Bubble Generator
Chips/Package
Choice List [Parts Count also]
The number of bubble chips in the package.
Dissipative Elements
Choice List [Parts Count also]
The total number of dissipative control elements. This includes generate, replicate, and detector elements.
Quality Level
Choice List
The quality screening level used in the manufacturing of the device. Choices are:
S
B
B-1
Commercial
If the device is screened to custom or intermediate programs, you can enter a Pi Q value directly in Pi Q Value. For more information, see MIL-HBDK-217 Quality Levels
# of Bits
Integer [Parts Count also]
The number of bits in the device. This parameter is used in conjunction with Units to enter the memory device bits.
Units
Choice List [Parts Count also]
The units for the value in # of Bits. Choices are:
b (bits)
Kb (1024 bits)
Mb (1,048,576 bits)
Gb (1,073,741,824 bits)
The default is Kb. However, you can enter the unit in many ways. For example, for a 1-kilobit memory chip, you can enter a 1 for # of Bits and select Kb for Units, or you can enter 1024 for # of Bits and select b for Units.
Pins
Integer [Parts Count also]
The number of active pins in the package.
Years in Production
Choice List [Parts Count also]
The number of years the device has been in production. Choices are:
>=2.0
1.5
1.0
0.5
<=0.1
Reads/Writes
Integer [Parts Count also]
The ratio of the number of memory reads for every memory write. If this ratio is less than 1, enter 0.
Average Data Rate
Real [Parts Count also]
The average data rate over the time that power is applied to the equipment using the device.
Maximum Data Rate
Real [Parts Count also]
The manufacturer's maximum rated data rate.
Duty Cycle
Real [Parts Count also]
The percentage of time that the device is in an operational (on) state. Generally, this field is left at #.# so that the duty cycle is calculated as follows:
Duty Cycle Ratio = Average Data Rate / Maximum Data Rate * 100
If you enter a value for this parameter, this value is used in place of a calculated duty cycle.
