The 8XC196NP is a member of Intel's 16-bit MCS 96 microcontroller family. The device features 1 Mbyte of linear address space, a demultiplexed bus, and a chip-select unit. The external bus can dynamically switch between multiplexed and demultiplexed operation. When operating at 25 MHz in demultiplexed mode, the 8XC196NP can access a 100 ns memory device with zero wait states. The 8XC196NP is available without ROM (80C196NP) or with 4 Kbytes of ROM (83C196NP).
