Can anyone tell me exactly what a PACEMIPS PIMM -
33SG144C is? It's
made byPerformance Semiconductor but it's not listed on their (POOR!)
website. I THINK it might be an R33000 embedded processor but I'm not
sure.
Performance Semi, AFAIK, generally does semiconductors for
military/aerospace applications. I recall dimly that they made some
MIL-SPEC MIPS devices; this would perhaps be one of them. The part number
you cite is not familiar, but might be one of the line of R3000+R3010
derivatives. Not as esoteric as their relatively popular MIL-STD-1750A
processors, but unusual none-the-less.
I believe tht you're right on all counts. I had my hands on a PS catalog but left
it at the hamfest. The seller is a friend of mine and I'm hoping that he remembers
that I wanted it. The catalog doesn't list the 33SG144C (it's an '89 catalog
and the ICs are dated '94) but it does list the Pace-Mipps R2000, R3000, R3010 and
some others as well as the 175x chips. It says that the MIPPs ICs are standard MIPPs
processors but built to Mil-Standards.
I've actually got some Performance Semi 1750A chipsets...I must think of
something to do with them...
I've got a few as well. I also just found a 1753 (MMU IIRC) and 1754 (I/O
interface IIRC). In case you'r enot aware of it, the 1750 is a "standard"
processor that the government is trying to use in all aircraft and aerospace
applications.
