Question

How a Motorola IC with plastic DIP and commercial temperature range is ordered?

(a) ICLxxxP -> 0^o to 75^oc

(b) CAxxE -> -55^o to +125^oc

(c) LMxxxxA -> -40^o to+85^oc

(d) MCxxxP -> 0^o to 70^oc

This question was addressed to me in an interview for job.

This question is from Integrated Circuits, Types & Manufacturer’s Design topic in division IC Fabrication of Linear Integrated Circuits

Answer 1

The accurate option is (d) MCxxxP -> 0^o to 70^oc

Break it down: The ordering format for a typical Motorola IC is,

MCxxxx –>  Device type

P –> Package type(Plastic DIP)

0^o to 70^oc –> Temperature range (Commercial).
