NG80960JS33

The NG80960JS33 is a 32-bit microprocessor based on the Intel i960 core, supplied in a 132-lead QFP surface-mount package. It is designed for embedded applications that require a single-core 32-bit processing element with integrated system features.

Built around the i960 embedded architecture, the device targets embedded and industrial designs where on-chip resources, bus flexibility and integration reduce system complexity and BOM size.

Key Features

• Core & Architecture Single 32-bit i960 core operating at 33 MHz with the series' high-performance embedded architecture and one-instruction-per-clock execution model.
• Memory and Cache Options Series-level features include programmable instruction and direct-mapped data caches and on-chip data RAM for critical variable storage; consult the datasheet for cache and memory configuration details.
• Bus and Interface Flexibility High-bandwidth burst bus with 32-bit multiplexed address/data and selectable 8-, 16- or 32-bit bus widths to match system memory and peripheral requirements.
• Interrupts and Timers Integrated interrupt controller with multiple programmable priorities and on-chip timing resources including two independent 32-bit timers for precise event and time management.
• Power and I/O 3.3 V supply voltage with 5 V tolerant inputs and TTL-compatible outputs; includes a halt mode for reduced power consumption.
• On-chip Support On-chip stack frame cache and 1 KB on-chip data RAM for low-latency storage of critical variables and fast context handling.
• Package and Mounting 132-lead BQFP (bumpered) plastic quad flat pack in a surface-mount footprint, suitable for compact embedded assemblies.
• Operating Range Commercial-grade temperature range from 0 °C to 100 °C.
• Standards and Test IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan compatibility for board-level test and fault isolation.
• Regulatory RoHS status: Compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Single-core 32-bit processing for general-purpose embedded controllers and system control tasks.
• Industrial Automation — On-chip timers, interrupt handling and DRAM controller support for motion control, PLCs and process automation subsystems.
• Communications Equipment — Bus flexibility and high-bandwidth burst bus for protocol handling and data movement in networking and telecom modules.
• Instrumentation and Test — Deterministic execution and JTAG boundary-scan support for measurement, control and test applications.

Unique Advantages

• High-performance embedded architecture: One-instruction-per-clock execution and i960 core heritage provide predictable instruction throughput for control-oriented workloads.
• Integrated system resources: On-chip RAM, stack frame cache and timers reduce external component needs and lower BOM complexity.
• Flexible memory and bus configuration: Selectable bus widths and high-bandwidth burst bus enable adaptable interfacing with a range of memories and peripherals.
• Robust I/O tolerance: 3.3 V supply with 5 V tolerant inputs and TTL-compatible outputs simplifies interfacing to mixed-voltage systems.
• Surface-mount 132-QFP packaging: Compact, industry-standard footprint for space-constrained embedded boards.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to environmental compliance requirements for modern electronic assemblies.
