CRT9212

Overview

The CRT9212 is a Double Row Buffer (DRB) logic component manufactured by Standard Microsystems Corporation. It functions as a buffer element that processes and manages bit-per-element data streams. The device is designed for high-speed digital signal buffering applications, providing reliable data retention and transmission capabilities within complex logic circuits.

Feature Summary

• Functions as a Double Row Buffer for managing bit-per-element data processing
• Designed for high-speed digital signal buffering applications

Applications

• Digital logic circuit buffering
• Data stream management systems
• Bit-per-element processing units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant (e.g., CD, P) against your design requirements, as package types may differ. Confirm manufacturer lineage, noting SMSC was acquired by Microchip Technology. Ensure compatibility with existing logic levels and timing constraints before integration into the final system design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated double row buffer solution is required for bit-per-element data handling. Consider the available package options such as CDIP28 based on board space and thermal requirements. Evaluate performance needs against other standard buffer families if specific DRB functionality is not strictly mandated by the architecture.

Part Context

Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) specialized in mixed-signal and digital logic solutions before being acquired by Microchip Technology. The CRT9212 belongs to their legacy logic component portfolio, focusing on interface and buffering technologies for computer and industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify pinout and electrical characteristics with alternative manufacturers if sourcing from secondary markets due to potential obsolescence.
