Default ?? about at29c256, replacement chips

usaully a faster chip can process data the quicker. the replacement chip: at29c256 operates at 90ns ..would a faster 120ns chip perform alogithum functions quicker? does this apply to the 29sf512 as well?

seem like the burn1 unit will program the 90ns, but will it do the faster 120ns?

Actually the 90nS chip is faster. But either chip will work fine. Because the ECM is slower than either chip Also your burner should support either chip as long as it can burn the type number. It don't care about access time.

As TJ said you've got it backwards. The smaller the # the faster the chip is because that is how long it takes to access data stored on the chip.

ok... 90 ns is faster then 120ns and it does not matter. Thats good. phone around today,, found about a dozen companies suppling these chips, got four of them to send me 12 samples each...eh eh .. just in case i blow a few of them up! ,, seem like thier were so willing to help! .

these are ATmel chips, 60ns, 90ns, and 120ns..i was informed that atmel supplys software to burn these puppies. they also suggested that there is a(simple) schematic on atmel web for a programming them..Have yet to find it. could this be true?

thank you for info.
