GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am29117 is a microprogrammable 16-bit bipolar microprocessor whose architecture and instruction set are identical to the Am29116s except for the I/O bus structure. Since the device has separate input and output ports, designers can avoid quick bus turnaround requirements.

The architecture and instruction set are not only optimized for high=performance peripheral controllers, but also suitable for microprogrammed processor applications when combined with the Am29517A 16 x 16 Multiplier.
