-
- MIL-STD-1750B -- THE FUTURE
- ---------------------------
-
- Work is underway on creating a MIL-STD-1750B document. The
- purpose of this document would be to clarify and improve the
- Sixteen Bit Computer Instruction Set Architecture
- (MIL-STD-1750A), by including the suggested improvements of
- computer manufacturers and designers. Changes will be made to
- accommodate programming in the Ada programming language.
-
- The publication of the MIL-STD-1750A CHANGE NOTICE 1 in
- 1982 resulted in a three year freeze, imposed by the Designated
- Control Agent, on all changes to MIL-STD-1750A. The freeze was
- imposed to allow computer manufacturers to design products to
- meet stable requirements. As computers were developed,
- manufacturers suggested clarifications and improvements to the
- standard. These suggestions will be incorporated into the
- MIL-STD-1750B, the succeeding version to MIL-STD-1750A.
-
- The Society of Automotive Engineers, Aerospace Avionics
- Equipment and Integration Committee, Users Group SAE-AE-9E, is in
- the process of developing a draft MIL-STD-1750B, in anticipation
- of a lifting of the freeze. The Users Group SAE-AE-9E is working
- towards achieving the following schedule:
-
- Fall 1985 Complete Draft
- Spring 1986 Standards Subtask Group Review
- Summer 1986 SAE-AE-9E Committee Review
- Fall 1986 Presentation to MIL-STD-1750 Control Board

- LSI LOGIC CORPORATION AND ACT CORPORATION ANNOUNCE PLANS TO JOINTLY
-
- DEVELOP A 1750 BASED DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- October 28, 1986 - LSI Logic Corporation and Advanced
- Computer Techniques Corporation (ACT) today announced their
- intention to jointly develop and marketa n integrated
- software/hardware development system for the MIL-STD-1750
- microprocessor environment.
-
- LSI Logic, a designer and manufacturer of HCMOS
- application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), recently
- introduced the industry's first ASIC single-chip HCMOS version of
- the MIL-STD-1750 microprocessor. This cell-based custom designed
- microprocessor is geared for avionics, navigational equipment,
- satellites, and other military applications. New York City based
- ACT, a supplier of 1750 compilers and related support software,
- was the first United States company to develop a validated Ada
- compiler for the 1750.
