From their introduction in 1982, the highly integrated 16-bit 80186 and its 8-bit external bus version, the 80188, have been ideal processor choices for high-performance, low-cost embedded control applications. The integrated peripheral functions and enhanced 8086 CPU of the 80186 and 80188 allow for an easy upgrade of older generation control applications to achieve higher performance while lowering the overall system cost through reduced board space, and a simplified production flow.
