(See Package Specification Order Number 240800, Package

The 82078 Product Family brings a set of enhanced floppy disk controllers. These include several features
that allow for easy implementation in both the portable and desktop market. The current family includes a 64
pin and a 44 pin part in the smaller form factor QFP package. The 3.3V version of the 64 pin part provides an
ideal solution for the rapidly emerging 3.3V platforms. It also allows for a 5.0V tolerant floppy drive interface
that lets the users retain their normal 5.0V drives. Another version of the 64 pin part provides support for 2
Mbps data rate tape drives.

The 44 pin is targeted for platforms that are operated at 3.3V or 5.0V and do not require more than two drive
support. The 82078-5 is designed for price sensitive 5.0V designs which do not include 4 MB drive support.
