NOTES:

1.Nonvolatile memory is optional for the 8XC196NP, but is not available for the 80C196NU. The second character of the device name indicates the presence and type of nonvolatile memory. 80C196NP = none; 83C196NP = ROM.

2.Register RAM amounts include the 24 bytes allocated to core special-function registers (SFRs) and the stack pointer.

3.I/O pins include address, data, and bus control pins and 32 I/O port pins.

2.3BLOCK DIAGRAM

Figure 2-1 shows the major blocks within the device. The core of the device (Figure 2-2) consists of the central processing unit (CPU) and memory controller. The CPU contains the register file and the register arithmetic-logic unit (RALU). The CPU connects to both the memory controller and an interrupt controller via a 16-bit internal bus. An extension of this bus connects the CPU to the internal peripheral modules. In addition, an 8-bit internal bus transfers instruction bytes from the memory controller to the instruction register in the RALU.
