The EE80C186XL25 is a microcontroller manufactured by Innovasic Semiconductor. As indicated by the 'END - OF - LIFE' category, this product is no longer in production and is considered obsolete. The EE80C186XL25 is based on the Intel 80C186 architecture, an enhanced version of the 8086 processor.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems
• Embedded control systems
• Networking equipment
• Telecommunications equipment
• Legacy systems requiring a drop-in replacement for the 80C186

Features

• 80C186-compatible CPU core
• Integrated memory controller
• DMA (Direct Memory Access) controller
• Timers and counters
• Serial communication interfaces (UART)
• Parallel I/O ports
• Clock generator

Benefits

• Drop-in replacement for 80C186: The EE80C186XL25 is designed to be a pin-compatible replacement for the original Intel 80C186 processor, allowing for easy upgrades and replacements in existing systems.
• Extended temperature range: Innovasic Semiconductor offered extended temperature range versions of the EE80C186XL25, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Integrated peripherals: The on-chip memory controller, DMA controller, and other peripherals reduce the need for external components, simplifying system design and reducing cost.
• Real-time processing capabilities: The timers and interrupt handling capabilities allow the microcontroller to respond quickly to external events, making it suitable for real-time control applications.
• Long-term availability (Historically): Innovasic Semiconductor focused on providing long-term availability for its products, making it a reliable source for embedded processors, although this part is now EOL.

Additional Details

The EE80C186XL25 typically operates at a clock frequency of 25 MHz. The integrated memory controller supports various types of memory, including SRAM, EPROM, and flash memory. The DMA controller allows for high-speed data transfers between memory and peripherals without CPU intervention. It's important to note that because this part is EOL, sourcing it may be difficult, and designers should consider alternative, currently supported solutions for new designs.
