Innovasic Offers Replacement ICs for Intel 186/188 Microcontrollers

Posted by EDA Geek News Staff in Microcontrollers on Monday, February 26, 2007

Innovasic Semiconductor, a leader in replacement integrated circuit (IC) and microcontroller solutions, announced that they are going to provide replacements for Intel's 80C186/188 family of microcontroller products. The announcement is the first step in the company's development of a roadmap in response to Intel's end of life (EOL) notice in July 2006.

"As a result of our survey and discussions with key customers, it became clear that the 80C186/188 product line was in the highest demand," said Keith Prettyjohns, CEO of Innovasic Semiconductor. "We are now committed to the development of these products and will work with our key partners to ensure that their products perform flawlessly with our new devices."

All the chips will be available in current conventional and RoHS compliant packaging. The devices will be 100 percent form, fit and function compatible with the original. The IA186EB and IA188EB will be the first samples in the family, available in Q4, 2007.
