Former soviet chips

Introduction

For more details, see:

czyborra.com/charsets/cyrillic.html

In transliterated mode, the Greek letter phi (pronounced fi) becomes an f, the Greek letter gamma becomes a g, the Greek letter ro becomes an r etc. There is a table at the bottom of this page.

Most former Soviet chips were copies of existing western chips.

Christoph Zingg around 1996:

• Russian Semiconductors are often very much cheaper than their western equivalents. For example specialities as microwave GaAs-Transistors or fast Mixed signal circuits (AD/DA) or just simple linear or digital circuits.
• Optical quality is often not as good as that of western chips but electrical quality is at least equal!
• Almost all standard circuits are available in military versions (honestly I don't know yet if it's possible to export them in quantities).
• Deliverability is good if the parts are still in production. Standard logic and linear circuits should be available very quickly and in large quantities.
• For specialities I would have to find out whether they are still in full production.
