The DM74S288N is a 32-word by 8-bit Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM), manufactured by National Semiconductor (now Texas Instruments). It is part of the 74S series of Schottky TTL logic circuits and provides a non-volatile storage solution for digital systems.
Applications:
- Microprogram Storage: Used to store microprograms in microprogrammed control units.
- Character Generators: Employed as character generators in display systems.
- Code Converters: Utilized as code converters for converting between different digital codes.
- Lookup Tables: Applied as lookup tables in various digital signal processing and control applications.
- Address Decoding: Used for complex address decoding schemes in memory systems.
Features:
- 32-Word by 8-Bit Organization: Stores 32 words, each 8 bits wide.
- Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM): Allows for one-time programming of the memory contents.
- High Speed: Offers fast access times for quick data retrieval.
- Open-Collector Outputs: Provides open-collector outputs for flexible interfacing with other logic circuits.
- Wide Operating Voltage Range: Operates over a wide voltage range compatible with standard TTL logic levels.
Benefits:
- Non-Volatile Storage: Retains data even when power is removed.
- Fast Access Times: Enables quick data retrieval for high-performance applications.
- Flexible Interfacing: Open-collector outputs allow for flexible interfacing with other logic circuits.
- Simplified System Design: Integrated memory functionality reduces component count and simplifies system design.
The DM74S288N is typically packaged in a 16-pin DIP package. It requires a supply voltage of 5V. The PROM is programmed by selectively blowing fusible links within the device. The open-collector outputs require external pull-up resistors for proper operation. Refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet for detailed programming instructions, pin configurations, and application guidelines. Once programmed, the memory content is permanently stored.
