GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am186
TM
EM/EMLV and Am188
TM
EM/EMLV micro-
controllers are the ideal upgrade for 80C186/188 and
80L186/188 microcontroller designs requiring 80C186/
188 and 80L186/188 microcontroller compatibility, in-
creased performance, serial communications, and a di-
r e c t b u s i n t e r f a c e . T h e A m 1 8 6 E M / E M L V a n d
Am188EM/EMLV microcontrollers increase the perfor-
mance of existing 80C186/188 and 80L186/188 sys-
tems while decreasing their cost.
The Am186EM/EMLV and Am188EM/EMLV microcon-
trollers are part of the AMD E86 family of embedded mi-
crocontrollers and microprocessors based on the x86
architecture. The E86 family includes the 16- and 32-bit mi-
crocontrollers and microprocessors described on page 8
The Am186EM/EMLV and Am188EM/EMLV microcon-
trollers integrate the functions of the CPU, nonmulti-
plexed address bus, timers, chip selects, interrupt
controller, DMA controller, PSRAM controller, asynchro-
nous serial port, synchronous serial interface, and pro-
grammable I/O (PIO) pins on one chip. Compared to the
80C186/188 and 80L186/188 microcontrollers, the
Am186EM/EMLV and Am188EM/EMLV microcontrol-
lers enable designers to reduce the size, power con-
sumption, and cost of embedded systems, while
increasing functionality and performance.
The Am186EM/EMLV and Am188EM/EMLV microcon-
trollers have been designed to meet the most common
requirements of embedded products developed for the
office automation, mass storage, communications, and
general embedded markets. Specific applications in-
clude disk drives, hand-held terminals and desktop ter-
minals, fax machines, printers, photocopiers, feature
phones, cellular phones, PBXs, multiplexers, modems,
and industrial controls.
