The HM-6617/883 utilizes a synchronous design technique. This includes on-chip address latches and a separate output enable control which makes this device ideal for applications utilizing recent generation microprocessors. This design technique, combined with the Intersil advanced self-aligned silicon gate CMOS process technology offers ultra-low standby current. Low ICCSB is ideal for battery applications or other systems with low power requirements. The Intersil NiCr fuse link technology is utilized on this and other Intersil CMOS PROMs. This gives the user a PROM with permanent, stable storage characteristics over the full industrial and military temperature voltage ranges. NiCr fuse technology combined with the low power characteristics of CMOS provides an excellent alternative to standard bipolar PROMs or NMOS EPROMs.
