THE i960® PROCESSOR
The 80960SA is a member of the 32-bit architecture from Intel known as the i960 processor family. These microprocessors were especially designed to serve the needs of embedded applications. The embedded market includes applications as diverse as industrial automation, avionics, image processing, graphics and networking. These types of applications require high integration, low power consumption, quick interrupt response times and high performance. Since time to market is critical, embedded microprocessors need to be easy to use in both hardware and software designs.
