AM29000-16GC

Overview

The AM29000-16GC is a 32-bit microprocessor manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices, implemented in CMOS technology. It is characterized as a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) device, although it features more than 100 instructions. The component serves as a high-performance processor for microprocessor-based products within the AMD 29K family.

Feature Summary

• Implements RISC architecture using CMOS technology
• Provides 32-bit processing capabilities
• Includes over 100 distinct instructions

Applications

• High-performance microprocessor-based products
• Advanced computing systems requiring RISC architecture

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GC' against official AMD documentation to confirm pinout and voltage compatibility. Ensure the source document explicitly lists this exact part number, as datasheets often reference the broader AM29000 family or generic performance figures rather than individual speed grades.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32-bit RISC processor with CMOS implementation is required. Note that the instruction set exceeds typical RISC definitions. Compare against other members of the 29K family if specific performance metrics like those for the Am29005 are needed.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the AMD 29K family of reduced-instruction-set-computer microprocessors. The family includes various versions such as the Am29005, which offers streamlined instruction processing. The AM29000 series represents the core high-performance offerings of this lineage.
