AM9518PC

Overview

The AM9518PC is a data encryption circuit manufactured by Advanced Micro Devices. It utilizes MOS technology and is housed in a 40-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-40). The device operates on a nominal supply voltage of 5 V and supports an operating temperature range from -40 °C to 85 °C. It features 40 terminals arranged in an inline rectangular form factor with a pin pitch of 2.54 mm. The component has a maximum slew rate of 250 mA and contains one functional unit. It is not surface mount and does not specify a peak reflow temperature.

Feature Summary

• Provides dedicated hardware-based data encryption capabilities for secure communication applications.

Applications

• Telecommunications systems requiring signal encryption.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PC' against official AMD documentation to confirm the plastic DIP-40 package variant. Ensure compliance requirements are checked as the component may not be RoHS certified. Confirm the manufacturer source, as AMD's semiconductor division history involves transitions that may affect current sourcing channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a legacy 5 V logic interface is required for encryption tasks. Compare the PDIP-40 footprint against available board space. Verify thermal management needs for the specified commercial/industrial temperature range. Ensure system power supplies provide stable 5 V operation within the specified tolerance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMD AM9518 series of data encryption circuits. It is distinct from other variants such as the AM9518DIB, which uses a hermetic ceramic DIP package. The series was designed for telecommunications security before modern cryptographic standards evolved.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Legacy components often require pin-compatible alternatives or adapter solutions rather than direct cross-references.
