Detects the change in state of the core from one to
zero.
Each line provides 1/2 of the current necessary to
change the state of the core.
Prevents changing the core from a zero to a one.
In a three-wire core, this line performs the same
function as in the four-wire core.
To simplify addressing, reading, and writing
operations, magnetic cores are arranged in which
of the following ways?
1. In hierarchical patterns
2. In matrices
3. In planes
4. In stacks
Which core in an array will be switched from one
state to another?
1. A core with a full read or write current
passing through it
2. A core with a half read current passing
through it
3. A core with a half write current passing
through it
4. A core with a half read or write passing
through it
In a core array the inhibit line is threaded
in
(a)

(b)
core.

What is the basic building block of the memory
stack?

The address register bits are used to translate the
bits to make which of the following bit selections?
1. Stack only
2. Inhibit upper and lower stack only
3. X and Y primary, secondary, and diode only
4. X and Y primary, secondary, and diode;
stack; and inhibit upper and lower stack
Which selectors are activated only when writing
zeros?
1. Inhibit
2. X and Y primary
3. X and Y secondary
4. X and Y read/write diode
In a core read/write cycle, the read current is
designed to change the state of the core(s) to (a)
what value; and the write current is designed to
change the state of the core(s) from (b) what value
to (c) what value?
1. (a) Zero (b) zero
2. (a) Zero (b) one
3. (a) One (b) zero
4. (a) One (b) one
(c) one
(c) one
(c) one
(c) one
The process of reading cores to the zero state is
known as which of the following types of
readout?
1.
2.
3.
4.
Destructive readout
Non-destructive readout
Volatile readout
Nonvolatile readout
In a core memory, a restore cycle is necessary
after data has been read from memory for what
reason, if any?
1. To change the state of each selected core from
zero to one
2. To change the state of all the cores from one
to zero
3. To sense the state of each core
4. None, a restore cycle is not needed
