MG80386-16

Overview

The MG80386-16 is a microprocessor IC belonging to the Intel/Altera embedded processor family. It implements the 80386 architecture, providing 32-bit data processing capabilities with a single core configuration. The device operates at a clock frequency of 16 MHz. As a legacy component from the Altera portfolio, it serves as an embedded controller solution within mixed-signal programmable logic systems.

Feature Summary

• Implements the 32-bit x86-compatible instruction set architecture for complex control tasks
• Integrates a central processing unit capable of handling 32-bit data paths and addressing
• Designed for embedded applications requiring deterministic execution within programmable logic environments

Applications

• Embedded system controllers in industrial automation equipment
• Legacy interface management in mixed-signal FPGA designs
• Control logic for specialized telecommunications hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or official manufacturer channels due to the legacy status of this part. Confirm date codes and packaging integrity upon receipt. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and firmware requirements before integration into new production runs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32-bit embedded processor is required within an Altera-based system design. Evaluate performance needs against the 16 MHz operational limit. Consider modern alternatives if higher clock speeds or updated architectural features are necessary for current application demands.

Part Context

This microprocessor is part of the historical Altera product line, which was acquired by Intel. It represents the integration of standard CPU cores into programmable logic platforms, allowing designers to combine general-purpose processing with reconfigurable hardware logic on a single chip substrate.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains pin compatibility and functional equivalence with the original 80386 architecture specifications.
