Summary

[edit]
Description

That’s hot.

The 470 V/6 was Amdahl's first product after breaking away from IBM. It was faster and cheaper than the IBM System/370, and the big iron competition had begun.

This 1975 bipolar ECL design used a novel radiator package that allowed the chips to be air cooled, a big advance over the liquid plumbing used by others.

Six years later, IBM took the heat sink concept to the extreme in a helium infused <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/3648247047/comment72157620176143423">multi-chip module</a>.

When I did my first chip designs at HP in 1987-89 they were also bipolar ECL. 1GHz fT if I recall. I designed a QPSK modulator and some unusual amps. I wish I still had the circuit diagrams, as I spent a bit of artistic effort on a Devo plant pot hat rendered in iridescent SiO2 thin films.
