AM7971A-5LC/5

The AM7971A-5LC/5 is a microprocessor IC from Advanced Micro Devices in the Am7971 series, built around a dedicated Compression/Expansion Processor core. It features a single 8-bit core running at 5 MHz with 5 V I/O signaling and is targeted at embedded designs requiring focused compression and expansion processing in a commercial-grade device.

Key Features

• Core Architecture — Single 8-bit Compression/Expansion Processor core optimized for dedicated compression and expansion operations.
• Clock Speed — 5 MHz operating frequency suitable for deterministic, low‑to‑moderate throughput embedded tasks.
• I/O Voltage — 5 V I/O voltage for compatibility with legacy 5 V embedded interfaces.
• Package & Mounting — Supplied in a 68‑lead LCC package and designed for surface mount assembly to support compact board layouts.
• Operating Temperature — Commercial temperature range from 0 °C to 70 °C for standard embedded environments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant to meet environmental substance requirements.
• Graphics — No graphics acceleration, focusing silicon and pinout on compression/expansion processing tasks.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Compression/Expansion Engines — Implement compression or expansion functions in embedded systems where a dedicated 8-bit core and 5 MHz operation are sufficient.
• Legacy 5 V Systems — Integrate into designs that require 5 V I/O compatibility and a surface-mount 68‑LCC package.
• Control and Signal Processing — Use within control modules or signal-processing subsystems that need a compact, single‑core processor for specific transform tasks.

Unique Advantages
