Hi,
March 2006, Intel annouced that they will stop production on most of its embeded processor by 2007 without any proposed migration path.
For years, my company, used Intel 80C188EB CPU in many design, and we are still doing it.
Most of our product are very low quantity, so it's not practical for us stock those parts for years in advance.
So we are now searching for a replacement. We lost hope of any direct fit, but that's not our major concern. We need to find something, low cost, low power & 5Vdc, easy to implement, preferably 8/16 bits, PLCC format, that can run I86 code, and will be avaliable in Canada in very low quantity, even in single unit, for at least the next 5 years. Something that can replace the
188EB and run our program, even if we have to rework the software a bit.
Any suggestions?
Bye
