List of AMD Am2900 and Am29000 families


had a number of product lines with the part numbers beginning with "29". These families were generally not related to one another.
The Am29xxx family contains a variety of flash memories, and is not part of the Am2900/Am29000 families.

Am2900 Family

The first such family is the Am2900 series of integrated circuits created in 1975 designed in bit-slice topology so they could be used as modular components each representing a different aspect of a computer control unit. For details on the Am2900 Family see , by AMD.

Am29xxx Family

The AMD Am29xxx series of chips are high performance processors and system building-block devices.

Am29000

The Am29000 family are 32-bit RISC microprocessors. The Am29000 was a Berkeley RISC, register window design similar to the Sun SPARC.
The Am29100 family are microcontrollers and their support chips. Most of the microcontrollers are 'intelligent', performing operations that would normally be performed by software.
The Am29200 family are processors intended for the high-end microcontroller market.
The Am29300 family are 32-bit bit-slice devices.
The Am29040 family are ECL bit-slice components
The Am29500 family are devices intended to build DSP-like functions.
The Am29600 family are dynamic memory support devices.
The Am29700 family are fast memory devices.
The Am29800 family are bus interface chips and bit-slice support devices notable for in-circuit testing capability.
The Am29900 family are bus interface chips.
