UPB8238  N.E.C.

The invention of semiconductors and from them integrated circuits (IC's - chip's) has revolutionised the way we the human race exists. 

This section of our shop is dedicated to the growing interest in collecting nice examples of early, interesting and genuinely pieces. People have been collecting these technological marvels for years already, only lately has it become truly evident that it is a real investment opportunity that offers great growth potential; doubtless in 10 - 15 years time as these collectible parts become more and more sought after, prices will have increased 10 fold. Examples by the technology manufacturing pioneers of our time will be the treasure of the future....


Manufactured by N.E.C. in Japan in 1983, this is the UPB8238 systems controller IC.

A nice example of the early days when Japan was revolutionising semiconductor design and manufacture.
  
 In a classic white ceramic and heavily gold plated 28 pin DIL package, this attractive chip is new and unused, a  museum grade item, a must for serious collectors.

 Supplied in antistatic protective packaging.
