Intellec 4

In 1973-75 Intel Corporation released five Intellec series Microcomputer Development Systems (MDS) for its 4004, 4040, 8008 and 8080 CPUs: the Intellec 4, Intellec 4/40, Intellec 8, Intellec 8/80, and Intellec MDS.

The Intellec 4 (imm 4-40A) is a complete, self-contained microcomputer development system designed specifically to support the development and implementation of 4004 CPU based microcomputer systems. Its modular design provides the flexibility to adapt to any size user system and the resident software facilitates program development.

The basic Intellec 4 Microcomputer Development System consists of 4 microcomputer modules (CPU, RAM, and PROM PROGRAMMER), power supplies, I/O connec· tors, console, and displays.

The heart of the system is the imm 4-42 central processor module built around Intel's 4-bit 4004 CPU. The imm 4-42 is a complete microcomputer system containing the system clock, 1 K 8·bit bytes of PROM memory, 320 4·bit bytes of data RAM memory, 4 4-bit input ports and 8 4-bit output ports. The imm 6-28 program RAM memory module contains a 4K x 8 memory array composed of Intel 2102 static random access memory elements. The imm 6·76 PROM programmer module provides the capability of programming Intel 1702A PROMs in conjunction with the front panel PROM socket and system monitor. All I/O ports are TTL compatible and accessible from the back panel 37-pin connectors.

The front panel designer's console provides a means of monitoring and controlling system operation.
