The First 16-Bit Microprocessor PACE NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR
Set on the base of a well in the center of a thin rectangular ceramic package, PACE is firmly bonded in place with gold and is liked to the surrounding rectangular connectors by aluminum wires 0.002 inches thick. The connectors extend through the ceramic to forty leglike prongs (not shown here) that plug into circuit boards. The well is normally covered with a protective plate. The ceramic package measures 11/16 x 2 x 1/16 inches, and the chip is 0.250 inches square.
