AM29C332-1GC

Overview

The AM29C332-1GC is a 32-bit bit-slice processor manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It utilizes CMOS technology and is housed in a ceramic, metal-sealed cofired PGA package with 169 pins. The device operates on a nominal 5V supply, ranging from 4.75V to 5.25V, with a maximum slew rate of 70 mA. It supports an external data bus width of 32 bits and functions within a temperature range up to 70°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports 32-bit bit-slice processing architecture
• Utilizes CMOS technology for operation
• Features a ceramic metal-sealed cofired package

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring bit-slice processing
• Microcontroller and processor applications
• Industrial control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1GC' against official AMD documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with existing 5V logic levels and ceramic PGA mounting requirements. Confirm RoHS status as historical AMD parts may not meet current environmental standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a standalone 32-bit bit-slice processor. Consider the physical constraints of the 169-pin ceramic PGA package during PCB layout. Verify that the system power supply can maintain the required 4.75V to 5.25V range under all operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMD AM29C332 series of bit-slice processors. These components are designed for flexible system integration, allowing multiple units to be cascaded for wider data paths. The AM29C332 variant specifically provides a complete 32-bit processing slice in a single package.

Replacement Considerations

Consult AMD archives or authorized distributors for direct replacements. Generic bit-slice processors may require significant circuit redesign due to differences in instruction sets and pin configurations.
