What's the difference between the Intel 80196 and the 80296?



Are they both source code compatible with the 8051?

I did projects with both the 8051 and 80196, and I don't remember the 80196 being source code compatible with the 8051.

Grant Edwards grante Yow! Let's climb to the at TOP of that MOUNTAIN and visi.com think about STRIP MINING!!

As you might expect from the numbers, the 296 is a newer/faster variant.

NO. The 196 series are not code compatible with the 8 bit 80C51, but they are both Intel designed Microcontrollers.

The 196 are 16 bit, with a register-register opcode that reaches

256 bytes - These devices made OTP variants, but Intel never released FLASH models.

The closest equivalent device that one would consider for new designs, would be the XC166 family from Infineon.
