MD8088

The MD8088 is an Intel i8086-series microprocessor IC featuring an 8088 core with a single 8-bit data bus and a 5 MHz clock rating. Designed for embedded applications, it combines a classic microprocessor architecture with a through-hole 40‑CDIP package and commercial-grade specifications for use in a range of non-automotive commercial designs.

Key attributes include 5 V I/O operation, support for an external 8087 floating-point coprocessor, EBI/EMI interfaces, RoHS compliance, and operation across a commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Core Architecture 8088 core processor with a single core and 8-bit bus width operating at 5 MHz, suitable for embedded microprocessor tasks.
• Power 5 V I/O voltage for compatibility with standard commercial logic levels.
• Co-processor Support External 8087 FPU compatibility to add floating-point processing capability where required.
• Interfaces Additional EBI/EMI interfaces are available for system memory and peripheral interfacing.
• Package & Mounting 40‑pin Ceramic DIP (40‑CDIP, 0.600", 15.24 mm) supplied for through-hole mounting and straightforward board assembly or retrofitting.
• Operating Grade & Temperature Commercial grade device rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant, meeting common lead‑free and restricted-substance requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems Use as a primary MPU in embedded designs that require a single-core 8-bit data path and a 5 MHz clock.
• Through‑Hole Prototyping and Development 40‑CDIP package and through‑hole mounting make the MD8088 suitable for prototyping, development boards, and hardware labs.
• Commercial Equipment Commercial-grade operation and 5 V I/O make it suitable for a range of commercial electronic equipment operating within 0 °C to 70 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Classic 8088 Architecture: Predictable single-core, 8-bit bus operation at 5 MHz for designs that require this specific microprocessor configuration.
