Innovasic Semiconductor Announces the Availability of Pin-Compatible 80C186XL and 80C188XL Embedded Processors

Drop-in Replacement for Intel® Device Extends Product Life and Alleviates Expensive System Re-Design

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-- Jun. 2, 2009 --Innovasic Semiconductor, a leader in extended life semiconductor solutions, today announced engineering samples are shipping 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 also serve as replacements for the Intel® base 80C186 and 80C188 devices. The IA186XL and IA188XL are the latest additions to Innovasic’s growing 18x product family.
