Am186TMED

The Am186TMED/EDLV microcontrollers are part of the AMD E86TM family of embedded microcontrollers and microprocessors based on the x86 architecture. The Am186ED/EDLV microcontrollers are the ideal upgrade for 80C186/188 designs requiring 80C186/188 compatibility, increased performance, serial communications, a direct bus interface, and more than 64K of memory.

The Am186ED/EDLV microcontrollers integrate a complete DRAM controller to take advantage of low DRAM costs. This reduces memory subsystem costs while maintaining SRAM performance.The Am186ED/EDLV microcontrollers also integrate the functions of a CPU, nonmultiplexed address bus, three timers, watchdog timer, chip selects, interrupt controller, two DMA controllers, two asynchronous serial ports, programmable bus sizing, and programmable I/O (PIO) pins on one chip. Compared to the 80C186/188 microcontrollers, the Am186ED/EDLV microcontrollers enable designers to reduce the size, power consumption, and cost of embedded systems, while increasing reliability, functionality, and performance.

The Am186ED/EDLV 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 PBXs, multiplexers, modems, disk drives, hand-held and desktop terminals, fax machines, printers, photocopiers, and industrial controls.
