Applications of Custom VLSI Circuits in Exploration Seismology
, by Rick Ottolini and John Newkirk
Custom Very Large Scale Integrated circuits can be used to increase the
speed, portability, reliability, and economy of computations in exploration
seismology. Better design tools have made custiom VLSI circuits acessible
to non-engineers and more economical for everyone. Applications to
exploration seismology include specialized data displays, customs array
processors, and electronics to do computation at the data's source. This
paper presents a case history of a high speed (250 kilohertz) deconvolution
filter implemented with custom VLSI.
