The TMS2708JL is an 8Kbit (1K x 8-bit) NMOS UV Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) designed for use in early computing systems, embedded control applications, and firmware storage. Built with NMOS technology, it requires three separate power supplies (+5V, -5V, and +12V) for proper operation.
With a 450ns access time, the TMS2708JL provides reliable data retrieval, making it ideal for vintage computing and industrial control applications. The device is UV erasable, allowing for multiple reprogramming cycles through exposure to ultraviolet light via its quartz window.
Encased in a CDIP-24 package, the TMS2708JL is well-suited for legacy PCB designs and hardware maintenance projects. Its 10+ year data retention capability ensures that stored firmware or program code remains intact over extended periods.
The TMS2708JL is commonly used in early microprocessor systems, control units, and embedded applications, where stable non-volatile memory storage is required.
