INSIDE INTEL’S FIRST PRODUCT: THE 3101 RAM CHIP HELD JUST 64 BITS

Intel’s first product was not a processor, but a memory chip: the 31011 RAM chip, released in April 1969. This chip held just 64 bits of data (equivalent to 8 letters or 16 digits) and had the steep price tag of $99.50.2 The chip’s capacity was way too small to replace core memory, the dominant storage technology

Electronics and shortcircuits

Introducing the Digitool One of the most useful tools for micro-controller design is the logic analyzer. You can find one for every budget or performance, but lately those based in USB connection to PC have gained popularity (not not mention the chinese copies). The main drawback of USB based logic analyzer is the need of
