GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am186
TM
ER and Am188
TM
ER microcontrollers are
part of the AMD E86 family of embedded
microcontrollers and microprocessors based on the
x86 architecture. The Am186ER and Am188ER
microcontrollers are the ideal upgrade for designs
The Am186ER and Am188ER microcontrollers
integrate memory and the functions of the CPU,
nonmultiplexed address bus, timers, chip selects,
interrupt controller, DMA controller, PSRAM controller,
watchdog timer, asynchronous serial port,
synchronous serial interface, and programmable I/O
(PIO) pins on one chip. Compared to the 80C186/
80C188 microcontrollers, the Am186ER and
Am188ER microcontrollers enable designers to reduce
the size, power consumption, and cost of embedded
systems, while increasing functionality and
performance.
The Am186ER and Am188ER microcontrollers have
been designed to meet the most common
requirements of embedded products developed for the
communications, office automation, mass storage, and
general embedded markets. Specific applications
include feature phones, cellular phones, PBXs,
multiplexers, modems, disk drives, hand-held terminals
and desktop terminals, fax machines, printers,
photocopiers, and industrial controls.
