INTRODUCTION
The i960
®
Jx microprocessor provides a new set of essential enhancements for an emerging class
of high-performance embedded applications. Based on the i960 core architecture, it is
implemented in a proven 0.6 micron, three-layer metal process.
Figure 1-1
identifies the
processor’s most notable features, each of which is described in subsections that follow the figure.
These features include:
