The AMD Am188ES
80C186/188-compatible, 16-bit embedded microprocessors are used in our
largest line of controllers. All controllers based on this processor
are available with the 40 MHz system clock (20 MHz available for
existing OEM customers). This line of controllers offers very good
performance at lower costs. Amongst the benefits offered by this
processor is a specialized modem control serial port and an effective
power-down mode. It has more digital I/O pins and lower power
consumption than the
i386EX-based
controllers and the top-of-the-line
586-Engine, and better performance than
the
V25-based
controllers. Almost all of the Am188ES based controllers support at
least a 512 KB SRAM and a 512 KB ROM.
The AMD Am186ES
has similar features with the addition of a 16-bit external data bus.
This enables Am186ES powered controllers to have superior data sample
rates and processing capabilities.

AMD has obsoleted
the Am188ES/Am186ES processors; these processors were used extensively
in TERN controllers. We have taken steps to make this a non-factor for
our customers. A replacement ASIC is now available and being
integrated into our products. Click
here for details.
A new family of boards is
now also being introduced: the R- series of
controllers is based on the Am186ER and the
pin-compatible RDC R1100. These controllers are still
of the 186-generation, but offer exceptional features not available in
previous boards. The Am186ER, one of the few
processors still in production by AMD, includes 32 KB internal SRAM
allowing it to be deployed in the field for exceptionally low cost. The
RDC R1100 can be clocked at up to 80 MHz, giving it a
tremendous performance boost compared to other processors in this
family. |
