Intel Architecture Embedded Processor Overview
Intel 80C186 Processor Family For the Intel 186 standard family, the numbers tell the story: more than 10,000 design wins and 50 million units shipped in its 12 years of production. With the 186 family of products, you can determine the cost and performance requirements for your embedded design and then choose from a wide variety of options: CHMOS, HMOS, 8- and 16-bit external versions.
The 80C186/188XL family is pin-for-pin compatible with the 80186/188 family while adding an enhanced feature set. The high performance CHMOS process allows the 80C186/188XL to run at twice the clock rate of the HMOS 80186/188 while consuming less than one quarter the power. However, the 80186/188 remains ideal for your price-sensitive designs that are not power sensitive.
Intel 186 Enhanced Products Family In 1990, Intel designed these products to meet your performance, integration and power consumption needs. Intel modularized the core architecture in order to easily proliferate the family. The 80C186Ex family features an improved static, 1 micron design and all of the enhanced products run at 25 MHz. In addition, the Ex family products incorporate new features (serial channels, DRAM refresh control, power management) to provide you more functionality. The Ex core has also been enhanced to run at 3 volts.
