silicon chip project

(1/1)

buzzawak:
July 2019 issue of Silicon chip in the Circuit Notebook section has a diagram for a 74LSxx series logic tester build around the DS89C430-MNL microprocessor.
This is my first foray into programming chips so on a steep learning curve.

The DS89C430-MNL is not a cheap chip and from my reading is pin and instruction set compatible with the older and much cheaper 80C52.
Am I demonstrating my total ignorance :-DD in thinking I can substitute the 80C52 and all will be fine?

Do you have source code or just object code? If you have source there is a better chance you can account for any hardware differences between the two chips.

There are a lot of IC tester projects on the web, and you can make one with just an Arduino.

Both of these projects have an extensive test database:

For an historical perspective on IC testers, have a look at:

Hi Ledtester,

Yes, I do have the source code for it. Thanks, I will have a read of the links you kindly provided.

If you are looking for the tester, not for fun to make, it's an easier patch available

buzzawak:
Thanks, Ecdir
That's a nifty tool, the goal is fun of the build but I do like the XGecu TL866ii plus -p6

I collected a whole bunch of TTLs way back thinking they will come in handle one day.
I have decided to have a go at making an 8bit breadboard computer and what to do a tidy up on my inventory first.
