AM29116DC

Overview

The AM29116DC is a high-performance 16-bit bipolar microprocessor manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It features a microprogrammable architecture optimized for real-time control applications. The device operates with a nominal supply voltage of 5 V, within a range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. It supports a commercial temperature range from 0 °C to 70 °C and is housed in a hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP) with 40 terminals.

Feature Summary

• Microprogrammable 16-bit architecture designed for high-speed peripheral control
• Separate input and output ports to eliminate bus turnaround delays
• Compatible with the Am29517A multiplier for complex arithmetic operations

Applications

• Real-time interrupt controllers
• High-performance peripheral controllers
• Microprogrammed processor systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DC' against official AMD documentation to confirm the exact package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing 5V logic levels and bipolar signal requirements. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout consistency with legacy designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated microprogrammable controller is required for deterministic real-time tasks. It is suitable for systems needing fast I/O handling without bus contention. Consider pairing with the Am29517A if hardware multiplication is necessary for the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMD 29000 series family of bit-slice and microprocessor components. It shares architectural similarities with the AM29117 but differs in I/O structure. The series was widely used in industrial and military applications requiring robust, programmable control logic during the era of bipolar microprocessors.
