AM2960DC

Specialty Logic Overview

The AM2960DC is a specialized logic integrated circuit manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices, designed for error detection and correction applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports 16-bit data processing. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It is housed in a 48-CDIP SB package, providing a robust physical interface for industrial and commercial electronic systems requiring reliable data integrity management.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Integrated error detection and correction functionality for 16-bit data streams
• Standard CMOS logic compatibility with wide voltage tolerance
• Industrial-grade thermal stability for consistent performance

Specialty Logic Applications

• Computer memory subsystems requiring ECC capabilities
• Data acquisition systems ensuring signal integrity
• Industrial control units managing critical data transmission

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches Advanced Micro Devices or Xilinx lineage. Confirm the package type is 48-CDIP SB. Check for date codes indicating vintage production. Ensure the device meets the specified 4.75V–5.25V operational requirements for your specific circuit design before integration.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when 16-bit error correction is required within standard TTL/CMOS voltage levels. Consider the 48-pin CDIP package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 0°C to 70°C temperature range against your environmental conditions. This part is suitable for legacy system maintenance or specific industrial applications where this form factor is mandated.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This component belongs to the AMD/Xilinx specialty logic family, specifically targeting data integrity solutions. It represents a dedicated hardware solution for error handling, distinct from general-purpose logic gates. The AM2960 series was historically significant in early computing architectures for maintaining data accuracy in memory and bus interfaces.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may be limited due to the specific 48-CDIP package and vintage nature. Verify functional equivalence with other AMD ECC controllers if available. Cross-reference with Xilinx datasheets for potential modern equivalents that offer similar 16-bit correction capabilities in updated packages.
