THE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WAS INVENTED BY |
EARLY DEMAND FOR ICs
THE AIR FORCE - MINUTEMAN PROJECT AND NASA - APOLLO PROGRAM THEY ACCOUNTED FOR VIRTUALLY ALL SALES IN THE EARLY 1960s THE AMERICAN COMPUTER MARKET WOULD LATER TAKE OVER AS THE PRIMARY DEMAND BY THE END OF THE DECADE  THE SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS |
||||||||
THE APOLLO AGC FLIGHT COMPUTER WAS THE FIRST COMPUTER TO USE ICs

IN 1960 ROBERT NOYCE CO-FOUNDER OF FAIRCHILD - CREATED THE FIRST PLANAR CIRCUIT
|
EARLY PLANAR CIRCUIT  |
||
IN JUNE OF 1964 FAIRCHILD INTRODUCED THE DIODE-TRANSISTOR LOGIC (DTL) 930 SERIES
THE SERIES BECAME THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR DTL ICs |
930-51
 |
||
OUR SYLVANIA COLLECTION  |
INDIVDIDUAL CIRCUITS COULD BE ORDERED ATTACHED TO BOARDS TO ALLOW FOR SIMPLE BREADBOARDING |
 |
|||
FLAT PACKS WERE ALSO AVAILABLE PRE-TINNED A HEAT SOURCE APPLIED TO THE TIN SOLDER WOULD ATTACH THE IC |
 |
||||
IN 1963 SYLVANIA INTRODUCED THE FIRST COMMERCIALY AVAILABLE TRANSISTOR-TRANSISTOR LOGIC (TTL) LINE

OUR CONTROL DATA CORP COLLECTION  |
CONTROL DATA CORP (CDC) WAS FOUNDED IN 1957 CDC MADE THE FASTEST SUPERCOMPUTERS OF THE 1960s (CDC 6000 FAMILY) CDCs DIRECTOR (1958-65) AND PRESIDENT (1965-72) WAS SEYMOUR CRAY - WHO LEFT IN 1972 TO FORM CRAY RESEARCH |
||
IN NOV 1965 CDC ANNOUNCED THE 3300 & 3500 COMPUTER SYSTEMS - THE COMPUTER OFFERED A NEW TYPE OF TIME-SHARING USERS COULD SHARE THE SYSTEM - BUT VIEW IT AS IF IT WERE THEIRS EXCLUSIVELY - THE 3500 SYSTEM FEATURED CDCs NEWLY DESIGNED INTEBRID CIRCUIT |
