A80960HT75SL2GP

The A80960HT75SL2GP is an Intel i960-series 32-bit microprocessor offered in a 168-CPGA package with through-hole mounting. It features a single i960 core running at 75 MHz and includes an integrated floating-point unit (FPU), on-chip caches and RAM, and a 3.3 V I/O interface.

Designed for embedded applications, the device provides superscalar 32-bit architecture, on-chip storage and system interfaces that support interrupt handling, timers and flexible external bus configurations to address embedded performance and integration requirements.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  32-bit superscalar i960 core with load/store architecture and dedicated register sets (sixteen 32-bit global registers and sixteen 32-bit local registers).
• Clock & Performance  Specified core speed 75 MHz; series documentation notes the i960 family can issue up to 150 million instructions per second.
• Floating-Point & Math  Integrated FPU to support floating-point operations without an external co-processor.
• On-Chip Memory  16 KB four-way set-associative instruction cache, 8 KB four-way set-associative data cache and 2 KB general-purpose on-chip RAM for reduced external memory dependence.
• Internal Data Paths & Bandwidth  Separate 128-bit internal paths for instructions and data and high internal bandwidth as documented for the series.
• External Bus & I/O  32-bit demultiplexed burst bus with per-byte parity generation/checking, support for 8-, 16- or 32-bit external bus widths and a fully programmable wait-state generator.
• Interrupts & Timers  High-capacity interrupt controller with up to 240 external interrupts and 31 programmable priorities, plus dual on-chip 32-bit timers with auto-reload and one-shot modes.
• Debug & Test  JTAG support (IEEE 1149.1 compliant) for boundary-scan and debug integration.
• Power & I/O Levels  3.3 V supply voltage with 5 V tolerant inputs and TTL-compatible outputs.
• Package & Mounting  168-CPGA supplier device package with through-hole mounting, commercial grade.
• Operating Temperature  Commercial operating range: 0 °C to 85 °C.
• RoHS Status  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems  Use as the main processing core in embedded platforms requiring a 32-bit superscalar processor with integrated FPU and on-chip caches.
• Real-Time Control  Suitable for embedded control tasks that benefit from dedicated timers, interrupt prioritization and deterministic bus control.
• Signal Processing Subsystems  Integrated FPU and on-chip data paths support compute tasks within embedded signal-processing or numeric workloads.

Unique Advantages

• Superscalar 32-bit core: Delivers high instruction throughput for compute-intensive embedded tasks, leveraging the i960 architecture.
• Integrated floating-point unit: Reduces BOM and board complexity by eliminating the need for an external math co-processor for floating-point operations.
• On-chip caches and RAM: 16 KB instruction cache, 8 KB data cache and 2 KB general RAM lower external memory traffic and improve system responsiveness.
• Flexible external bus: Supports 8/16/32-bit bus widths, programmable wait states and per-byte parity to adapt to a wide range of memory and peripheral interfaces.
• Rich system peripherals: Extensive interrupt support, dual 32-bit timers and JTAG test/debug simplify real-time control and system integration.
• Robust I/O levels and RoHS compliance: 3.3 V operation with 5 V tolerant inputs and RoHS conformity support contemporary embedded design and regulatory needs.
