iWave Systems licences its 80186 IP Cores to companies developing FPGA products and to industries using 80186 processor. This IP is an alternative for replacing older parts that are no longer manufactured, 80186 and ASICs.
The advantage of using these cores is quick migration of the 80186 designs to an FPGA Platform. High FPGA integration enables low BOM Cost and smaller board design. The support to retarget and merge the external peripherals and traditional custom old ASICs. The system performance is enhanced with increased operating frequency and integration.
The frequency of operation of this core is 33 MHz on Spartan-3 lowest speed grade. This core is exchangeable with the similar parts from manufacturers such as Intel, NEC and AMD.
x86 core has a broad set of integrated peripherals, which helps reduce system development time and cost and is compatible with wide range of compilers and debuggers. These include Memory Bus interfaces, Dual channel Multi protocol serial controller, A DMA Controller with four channels, PCI Host/Master/ Target controllers, multiple timers, a programmable interrupt controller, a memory refresh unit, variable-rate asynchronous serial port.
