Chip help

So I'm looking at getting the Amtel AT29C256 for my 91 Z28 L98. I thought I needed the 90ns one, but of the ones listed, my only choices are:

90JC - 32 LDCC
90PC - 28 DIP
90TC - 28 SOP
90JI - 32 LDCC
90PI - 28 DIP
90TI - 28 SOP

Now I'm confused!! I found this place local that carries all of these, but now I don't know which one to buy. Any help would be greatly appreicated!!! (yeah I'm new at this)

Thanks,
Mike

*** Will work. What you have are three different packaging types. DIP,LDCC and SOP internally are the same, but how they mount to a circuit board differ. Bob

Cool. Thanks Bob! Is one better then the other? (PI-PC) I can get either from the same place. Just curious.

Looks like one is made with ceramic, the other is plastic. Your call.. both work fine. Bob

Mike, get the PI series chip. It is an industrial temperature range instead of the usual commercial (PC) range. Cars need the industrial range of -40c to +85c (commercial being 0c to 70c).

Can see page 14 of the data sheet here:

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/p...ts/DOC0046.PDF

It also shows they offer slower chips that may be cheaper. Even the 150ns chip will work in a C3 or P4 ECM: AT29C256-15PI

RBob.
