Introduction

This document contains information for the 80960Jx microprocessor, including electrical characteristics and package pinout information. Detailed functional descriptions — other than parametric performance — are published in the i960® Jx Microprocessor Developer’s Manual (272483).

80960Jx Overview

The 80960Jx offers high performance to cost-sensitive 32-bit embedded applications. The 80960Jx is object code compatible with the 80960 Core Architecture and is capable of sustained execution at the rate of one instruction per clock. This processor’s features include generous instruction cache, data cache and data RAM. It also boasts a fast interrupt mechanism and dual-programmable timer units.
