Intel MCS(R) 96 Microcontroller Family

MCS(R) 96 Microcontrollers

Intel MCS(R) 96 16-bit Architecture Intel's MCS(R) 96 microcontroller products fit a variety of embedded applications. The high-performance register-to-register architecture is ideal for complex, real-time control applications. Intel designed its broad portfolio of 8XC196 microcontroller products to meet various levels of peripheral, memory size, addressability, and performance requirements.

The 8XC196 family shares a common, register-based architecture core. The MCS(R) 96 microcontroller register architecture eliminates the accumulator bottleneck and enables fast context switching. Although the 8XC196 is a 16-bit architecture, all devices have bit, byte, word and some 32-bit operations.

The strong future of this architecture lies in Intel's commitment to provide code-compatible devices with significantly higher performance. This road map includes memory integration. Intel's commitment to providing a complete tools solution, and continued investments in MCS 96 microcontrollers will give you a strong foundation on which to build.
