Innovasic Semiconductor to Produce Pin-Compatible 80C186XL and 80C188XL Embedded Processors

Drop-In Replacement Alleviates Expensive System Re-Design

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-- November 03, 2008 --Innovasic Semiconductor, a leader in extended life semiconductor solutions, today announced engineering samples will be available Q2 2009 for the IA186XL and IA188XL.

The IA186XL and IA188XL are form, fit and function compatible with the original Intel® 80C186XL and 80C188XL 16-bit high-integration embedded processors, and are low power, fully static versions of the 80C186 and 80C188. The Innovasic version supports internal 20-33 MHz operation and is industrial temperature grade.

The Innovasic processors have the same set of peripherals as the Intel® devices, including the standard numeric interface, interrupt control unit, chip-select unit/Ready Generation Logic, DRAM refresh control unit, power management unit, three 16-bit timer/counters, and two independent DMA channels.

The IA186XL and IA188XL are available in 68-Pin PLCC, 80-Pin PQFP, and 80-Pin LQFP RoHS compliant packages.
