The AM2716B-455DC is a 16,384-bit (2K x 8) electrically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) manufactured by AMD. It's a classic EPROM used in a variety of legacy embedded systems and prototyping applications. The device is available in a ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP) with a quartz window allowing the memory to be erased using ultraviolet light.
Applications:
- Firmware storage in embedded systems
- Program storage in microcontrollers
- Code storage for legacy computer systems
- Industrial control systems
- Prototyping and development
Features:
- 16,384-bit (2K x 8) EPROM
- Fast access time: 450ns
- Electrically programmable
- UV erasable
- Single 5V power supply
- Three-state outputs
- Ceramic dual-in-line package (CDIP)
Benefits:
- Non-volatile memory storage, retaining data without power
- Reprogrammable through UV erasure
- Suitable for applications requiring permanent program storage
- Simple integration with microprocessors and microcontrollers
- Cost-effective solution for small to medium sized code storage
Additional Details:
The AM2716B-455DC operates with a single 5V power supply, simplifying power supply design. Its access time of 450ns allows for rapid data retrieval. The device features three-state outputs, allowing multiple devices to share a common bus. The UV erasable nature enables designers to update the stored program as needed. The ceramic package with a quartz window allows for easy erasure with a UV lamp. This part is frequently used in older equipment and systems where maintaining compatibility is essential.
