TheIntelMCS-296 is a family ofmicrocontrollers (MCU), an improved version of theIntel MCS-96, while remaining compatible. The family is often referred to as the 80296. The MCU has improved math performance making it practical in embeddeddigital signal processing (DSP) andfeedback control systems. It can perform 12.5 DSPMIPS and general performance MIPS.
The main features of the MCS-296 family is 50MHz operation, MCS-96 compatibility,pipeline architecture, 6 MB addressable space, 2 KB code/dataRAM, 40-bit accumulator, fasthardware multiplier and accumulator, and 512 Byteregister RAM.
