AM2976PC

Overview

The AM2976PC is an eleven-bit dynamic memory driver manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It functions as a DRAM memory controller designed for high-speed data handling in computer systems. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and utilizes a 24-pin Dual In-line Package (PDIP) with a pin spacing of 0.300 inches (7.62mm). This integrated circuit supports through-hole mounting and is RoHS compliant, ensuring adherence to environmental standards for electronic components.

Feature Summary

• Provides eleven-bit dynamic memory driving capabilities for DRAM interfaces
• Operates on standard TTL-compatible logic levels
• Utilizes a robust 24-pin PDIP housing for reliable through-hole integration

Applications

• Dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory controller circuits
• Computer system memory interface design
• Legacy computing hardware maintenance

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches Advanced Micro Devices specifications. Confirm the package type is strictly 24-pin DIP with 0.300-inch pitch. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation is available if required for specific regulatory environments. Check for original packaging or bulk integrity to prevent pin damage during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an eleven-bit DRAM driver interface is required for legacy systems. Compare against similar TTL-based memory controllers like the SN74LS601AN for functional equivalence. Ensure the target board layout supports 24-pin through-hole mounting. Verify voltage requirements align with the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range before integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Advanced Micro Devices memory controller family, specifically designed for dynamic random-access memory applications. It serves as a critical interface between the processor and memory modules in older computer architectures. The device represents a specialized solution for managing data flow in systems requiring dedicated memory driving logic.

Replacement Considerations

The SN74LS601AN is documented as a comparable alternative. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. Ensure the replacement maintains the same eleven-bit driving capability and TTL logic compatibility.
