CCC3500 - Cassette/Cartridge Data Handler

SMSC (Microchip)

Description

The CCC 3500 is an MOS integrated circuit which simplifies the data interface between a processor and a magnetic tape cassette or cartridge drive.

During a write operation the CCDH receives data from the processor and shifts it out bit serially to the cassette/ cartridge data encoding logic.
