CRT8002B-032BI

Overview

The CRT8002B-032BI is a CRT Video Attributes Controller (VDAC) manufactured by SMSC. It is an N-channel COPLAMOS MOS/LSI device utilizing CLASP technology. The component contains a 7x11x128 character generator and functions as a parity generator and checker. It is designed for video display applications, specifically handling text attributes and character generation for CRT systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 7x11x128 character generator for text display
• Functions as a parity generator and checker
• Utilizes N-channel COPLAMOS MOS/LSI technology with CLASP architecture

Applications

• CRT video display attribute control
• Text mode character generation
• Parity checking in video systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as SMSC or Microchip, noting that SMSC was acquired. Confirm the package type matches requirements, as bulk packaging is common. Ensure the specific suffix -032BI aligns with voltage and speed grades if applicable. Request official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for legacy CRT systems requiring integrated character generation and parity checking. It combines VDAC functionality with error detection capabilities. Consider the COPLAMOS technology benefits for low power consumption. Verify compatibility with existing video timing controllers and memory interfaces used in the target design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CRT8002 series of video display controllers. It is distinct from general-purpose logic devices by its specialized role in generating video attributes and characters. The series includes variants like CRT8002AP and CRT8002B-003P, differing in package and specific feature sets.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other SMSC/Microchip VDAC parts for functional compatibility if direct substitution is required.
