The 8XC196 products are found in a variety of embedded applications. The high-performance register to register architecture is well suited for complex real-time control applications such as hard disk drives, modems, printers, pattern recognition and motor control. Our broad portfolio of 8XC196 microcontroller products has been designed to meet your varying peripheral, memory size, addressability and performance requirements. The 8XC196 family shares a common core architecture which is register based. The MCS 96 microcontroller register architecture eliminates the accumulator bottleneck and enables fast context switching. All devices have bit, byte, word and some 32-bit operations. The table below summarizes the capture and generation of high speed signals on the HSIO and EPA.

The 8XC196NP/NU have dynamically selectable multiplexed/demultiplexed bus and a chip select unit. The MCS 96 microcontroller product family has three distinct product lines. The most recent products form the EPA family. This family of devices has the advanced peripherals which include a flexible input/output system and EPA (Event Processor Array). The HSIO family consists of devices that have the High Speed Input/Output sub-system. The Motion Control family is comprised of devices that support motor control applications. This family also uses the EPA system for I/O control.

Uses waveform generator and event processor array system for input/output MCS®296 Microcontroller Overview Intel's MCS® 296 microcontroller is the latest addition to the Intel MCS®96 microcontroller family. The 80296SA is performance enhanced from the 8XC196NP and 8XC196NU controllers while maintaining binary code compatibility. Hence, the 80296SA can be dropped into a 8XC196NP/NU socket and immediately boost system performance. The 80296SA exhibits improved math performance over previous architectures making it suitable for embedded digital signal processing and feedback control systems. The 80296SA can perform 12.5 DSP MIPS and 16 general purpose MIPS. The 80296SA has 512 bytes of register RAM and 2 Kbytes of code/data RAM. The 80296SA utilizes the same peripherals as the 8XC196NP/NU. Additionally, like the 8XC196NU, the 80296SA includes a phase-lock loop. With the phase lock loop, an external clock drives the device at one half or one quarter the maximum internal clock frequency. Therefore, the system is designed for lower frequency external clock or oscillators while maintaining the maximum internal operating frequency. Enhancements to the chip select unit, the interrupts, and the timers were also implemented. The windowing scheme was enhanced to include the windowing of some external memory locations for direct addressing. The 80296SA is available in 100L QFP which is pin compatible with the 8XC196NU/NP for ease of upgradability. For existing 8XC196NU/NP users, the 80296SA provides an easy performance upgrade which translates to faster time to market. For customers who are looking for 16 bit microcontroller with an extra boost to performance, the 80296SA provides the performance edge required at an affordable price. FEATURES BENEFITS 50 Mhz Operation Higher Performance Binary-code compatible with Intel's 8xC196NU/NP microcontrollers Protect existing software investment Pipelined architecture/reduced execution states Up to 5 times faster than the 8xC196KC20 6 Mbyte of address space More memory headroom for high level language compilation 2 Kbytes code/data RAM High speed code memory, more space to store data 40-bit accumulator Added signal processing capability Multiply and accumulate executes in 80 ns using 40-bit hardware accumulator Useful in signal processing and feedback control system 512 bytes register RAM Fast data manipulation within register space Development Tools MCS® 96 The MCS® 96 microcontroller product family is supported by a variety of development tools, including and evaluation boards. ApBUILDER, Intel's interactive programming software, is a powerful tool that generates peripheral initialization code in ASM and C for Intel's embedded devices with a click of a mouse. This free software tool, along with Hypertext User's Manuals, speeds up the learning curve and can reduce design time. Project Builder Kits are low-cost development platforms that give design engineers all the hardware and software tools needed to fully evaluate device features and performance. These turnkey kits provide tools for every stage of the project design cycle. The MCS 96 microcontroller version can be ordered through your Intel sales representative using order # PROJBLD196KBCD. MCS® 296 The MCS® 296 controller is complemented by a complete set of hardware and software tools from Intel and leading third party development tool vendors. Software development is supported by ANSI C compiler, assembler, linker/locator, debugger, and simulators from Tasking, IAR, and ChipTools. Hardware design and debug is supported by In Circuit Emulators from Nohau and Kontron. Product evaluation is facilitated using Intel's 296SA Eval Kit. This kit includes a board, debug monitor, APBuilder and evaluation copies of third party software development tools to facilitate code development and execution.
