AM186ES Advanced Micro Devices, AM186ES Datasheet - Page 15

• Manufacturer Part Number: AM186ES
• Description: microcontrollers provide a low-cost/ high-performance solution for embedded system designers who wish to use the x86 architecture.
• Manufacturer: Advanced Micro Devices

Direct Memory Interface Example
Figure 1 illustrates the direct interface to memory of the
Am186ER microcontroller. The A19–A0 bus connects
to the memory address inputs, the AD bus connects to
the data inputs and outputs, and the chip selects con-
nect to the memory chip-select inputs.
Figure 1 also shows an implementation of an RS-232
console or modem communications port. The RS-232-
to-CMOS voltage-level converter is required for the
electrical interface with the external device.
COMPARISON OF THE Am186™ER AND
80C186 MICROCONTROLLERS
Figure 1 shows an example system using a 50-MHz
Am186ER microcontroller. Figure 2 shows a compara-
ble system implementation with an 80C186 microcon-
troller. Because of its superior integration, the
Am186ER system does not require the support devices
required on the 80C186 example system. In addition,
the Am186ER microcontroller provides significantly
better performance with its 50-MHz clock rate.
