XA-G3 Overview
The Philips Semiconductors XA (eXtended Architecture) family of 16-bit single-chip microcontrollers is powerful enough to easily handle the requirements of high performance embedded applications, yet inexpensive enough to pete in the market for high-volume, low-cost applications. The XA family provides an upward patibility path for 80C51 users who need higher performance and 64k or more of program memory. Existing...
