Pentium® Processors, Intel486™, Intel386™ and 186 Processors Overview
The Intel architecture embedded 16- and 32-bit processors offer a price performance range which make them well suited for the embedded market segment. In fact, the core architecture for these processors is the same as that developed for the PC industry and provide software compatibility and a huge support infrastructure. Tools suites, development platforms, compilers, debuggers, emulators, textbooks and training seminars from Intel and third-party suppliers reduce time-to-market.

The Intel architecture now powers a broad spectrum of communication information systems. These systems include digital cellular telephones, hand-held communicators and terminals, personal digital assistants, wired and wireless network interface cards, fax machines, modems and office automation peripherals.

You'll also find Intel architecture in many traditional, real-time applications, such as medical equipment, robotics, factory automation, measurement control systems, sensors and test equipment.

FEATURES BENEFITS
Supported by more operating systems, software and hardware development tools, and application code than any other architecture Saves time and cuts costs. Reduces start-up time for new projects, development time of prototypes and overall system cost
Provides the ability to develop embedded systems in a PC environment Easy to Use. Because of the availability of PC-compatible peripherals (either on-chip or within chipsets), you can more easily port code developed on the PC to embedded applications
Allows easy integration. Embedded versions of DOS, windowing operating systems and numerous real-time operating systems are available in ROM versions, allowing easy incorporation into embedded designs
Saves valuable development time. Incorporation of off-the-shelf device drivers (required to interface between the hardware controller and the operating system into embedded systems) saves valuable development time and effort; the device drivers interface easily with Intel architecture
Well known and established in schools, and represented in numerous books, seminars and training sessions Reduces development time. With the shortened learning curve, you'll be a step ahead of your next embedded design
Intel is committed to the architecture's longevity Provides security. Assurance that the Intel architecture will be available for future generations of your embedded designs
