The Intel 80186 Processor
|
|
The 80186 microprocessor was developed by Intel in 1982. It is an improved 8086 with several common support functions built in: clock generator, system controller, interrupt controller, DMA controller, and timer/counter. It also added 8 new instructions and executes instructions faster than the 8086. As with the 8086, it has a 16-bit external bus and is also available as the 80188, with an 8-bit external data bus. The initial clock rate of the 80186 and 80188 was 6 MHz. They were, and still are, generally used as embedded processors. |
