PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AMD C1702A (C1702) is a vintage EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) and a licensed equivalent of the original Intel 1702A introduced in 1971. Packaged in a white ceramic DIP with quartz window, it allowed developers to erase and reprogram memory using UV light – a groundbreaking innovation in early computing.
This device was widely used in early microprocessor systems, firmware storage, and prototyping, making it a critical part of computing history.
Today, the AMD C1702A EPROM is extremely rare and highly collectible, valued by IC collectors, semiconductor enthusiasts, and vintage computer restorers.
This particular unit is not tested, but it is in good physical condition, with the gold bond pads and window intact.
