The Tesla 200 series computers were designed primarily for the processing of bulk data. However, the universal central unit also made it possible to solve scientific and technical and mathematical-economic calculations. The extensive range of peripheral devices was based on the demands of practice. The Tesla 200 series computers allowed real -time calculations to be directly transmitted. The Tesla 200 series computers used standard interfaces. They are compatible with magnetic tape with other computers oriented to a nine -track magnetic tape.

Variants

The types differ in each other cycle and the capacity of the memory. Each type can be assembled in a wide range of peripheral configuration.

TC2 technology

The intermediate stage of the development of the structure and technology of logical circuits between classic plates with printed joints and integrated circuits is the TC2 technology (“technology de Commutation à deux couches”-two-level connection technology; used in Bull-Ge).

Two -levels are marked by the perimeters of sum and product gates. These gates are connected immediately. Impulses coming from generators (flip -flops, electromechanical, etc.) are fed to the product that evaluates the inputs and creates the resulting signal on the input of the sum. All these circuits are realized at a negative voltage level for a logical number one. Individual active circuits (logical gate, amplifiers, etc.) are located on common plates with printed joints.

The circuits are designed to apply the following logical levels at the outputs and interconnections of active circuits:

Output: Connection: Practice
Logical "1" = –0.2 V logical "1" = –0.5 V for logical "0": –4.5 to –12 V
Logical "0" = –0.8 V logical "0" = –12 V For logical "1": –0.2 to –0.8 V

Power: +10 V, -12 V, -4.5 V, -0.2 V

Plate design TC2

The motherboard made of artificial epoxy resin has dimensions of 127 × 177 mm.

The output for the connector contains 44 outlets, of which 40 are used to connect signals.

To this board are perpendicularly attached smaller plates with printed joints (115 × 15 mm) on which they are located:

Overview of basic circuits

The following logical circuits are realized by TC2 technology:

TC3 technology

Memory on thin layers

Scratch-pad memory

Software

The Tesla 200 is equipped with a modern operating system that largely automates the operation and use of the machine. It includes supervisory programs (supervisor, monitor), APS programming languages, Tesla Fortran, Tesla Algol, Tesla COBOL, Tesla Format, Tesla compita and a number of operating programs. In addition, the computer is equipped with a wealth of application programs.
