Intel Corporation Microprocessors A80960CF40

The A80960CF40 is a 32-bit high-performance superscalar embedded microprocessor from Quarktwin Technology Ltd. It operates at a clock speed of 40 MHz and is designed for efficient execution with a sustained performance of two instructions per clock cycle. The microprocessor features a demultiplexed 32-bit burst bus with pipelining, allowing for high-speed data transfer and interfacing with DRAM. This model includes four DMA channels capable of 71 Mbytes/s fly-by transfers and supports data chaining, packing, and unpacking. It has a robust on-chip architecture that includes a 1 Kbyte data RAM and a 4 Kbyte instruction cache, both designed for high bandwidth access. The processor supports both big and little endian byte ordering and offers a flexible interrupt controller with up to 248 external interrupts. The A80960CF40 is socket and object code compatible with the 80960CA, making it suitable for applications requiring high performance and efficient data handling in embedded systems. Its features, such as a fast procedure call/return model and a full parallel fault model, enhance its usability in complex applications.
