This month we are celebrating more chips than usual. April’s chips are the FT6821 which is a peripheral interface adapter offered as a direct replacement to the EF6821 originally offered by Thomson Components. The FT6809CM which is a 8-Bit Microprocessor and a direct replacement to the MC6809 originally offered by Motorola and finally the FT6840 which is a Programmable timer module and a direct replacement to the EF6840 which was also originally offered by Thomson Components. We offer these in a range of hi-reliability off the shelf or custom ceramics packages to Commercial, Industrial and Military temperature grades.
