The TX19 is a family of high-performance 32-bit microprocessors that offers the speed of a 32-bit RISC solution with the added advantage of a significantly reduced code size of a 16-bit architecture. The instruction set of the TX19 includes as a subset the 32-bit instructions of the TX39, which is based on the MIPS R3000ATM architecture. Additionally, the TX19 supports the MIPS16TM Application-Specific Extensions (ASE) for improved code density.
