29C60APC

Overview

The AM29C60APC is a CMOS-based Error Detection and Correction Circuit manufactured by Rochester Electronics, LLC. This component operates as a 16-bit logic device designed for data integrity applications. It is housed in a 48-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP-48). The circuit features 3-state output characteristics to facilitate bus interfacing. Key functional attributes include built-in diagnostics and byte control capabilities, allowing for granular error management within digital systems.

Feature Summary

• CMOS technology with 16-bit processing width
• 48-pin PDIP plastic dual in-line package
• Built-in diagnostic functions for fault detection
• Byte control capability for selective error handling

Applications

• Data storage systems requiring error correction
• Memory modules needing integrity verification
• Industrial control systems with high reliability requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing lot and date code upon receipt, as Rochester Electronics often supplies surplus or obsolete components. Confirm that the 48-pin DIP physical dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Ensure the 3-state output voltage levels are compatible with the receiving logic family in the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-bit error correction solution with integrated diagnostics is required. The PDIP-48 package is suitable for through-hole mounting on standard prototyping boards or legacy industrial equipment. Verify that the system power supply aligns with standard CMOS logic levels before integration.

Part Context

This part is listed under Specialized ICs by Rochester Electronics, LLC. It corresponds to the AMD AM29C60 series of error detection and correction circuits. The APC suffix typically denotes the PDIP-48 package variant with specific lead finish or temperature range characteristics defined by the original manufacturer specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must be sourced from the AMD AM29C60 series or equivalent CMOS EDC circuits in a 48-pin DIP package. Verify pinout compatibility, specifically regarding the 3-state outputs and byte control lines, before substituting.
