The IAH8/3048 is code compatible with the original Hitachi H8/300H family of microcontrollers, with additional security enhancements designed into the device. innov ASIC produces replacement ICs using its MILESTM, or Managed IC Lifetime Extension System, cloning technology. This technology produces replacement ICs far more complex than "emulation" while ensuring they are compatible with the original IC. MILESTM captures the design of a clone so it can be produced even as silicon technology advances. MILESTM also verifies the clone against the original IC so that even the "undocumented features" are duplicated. This Advanced Information Sheet contains preliminary information for this the IAH8/3048. The complete data sheet which documents all necessary engineering information about the IAH8/3048 including functional and I/O descriptions, electrical characteristics, and applicable timing will be available when the device nears completion.
