C68000 - Motorola MC68000-compatible Microprocessor

alt

The C68000 is a powerful 16/32-bit microprocessor IP which executes instruction list compatible with the Motorola® MC68000 microprocessor.

The C68000 is delivered in two versions: 16-bit, which is a pin replacement of the Motorola® MC68000 microprocessor, and the 32-bit C68000-AHB, which implements the AMBA® AHB interface for straightforward implementation of the C68000 into  such interfaced systems.

The regular 16-bit version of the C68000 is targeted as an exact functional and pin replacement of the original microprocessor chip, which is now an unavailable obsolete part.

The AHB-enhanced 32-bit version is a fully functional, relatively fast 32-bit microprocessor aimed at small, budget Systems-on-Chips.

Highlights

  • Motorola® MC68000-compatible
  • Dedicated application debugging environment - the EASE-68000
  • 32-bit internal architecture
