The 73M2910L high performance micro-controller is based on the industry standard 8-bit 8032 implemented in an advanced submicron CMOS process. The processor has the attributes of the 8032, including instruction cycle time, UART, timers, interrupts, 256 bytes of on-chip RAM and programmable I/O. The architecture has been optimized for low power portable modem or communication applications by integrating unique features with the core CPU.
