Abstract

AMD has recently introduced two new products derived from the Am29000 RISC (reduced instruction set computer) microprocessor: the Am29030 and Am29035 RISC microprocessor, and the Am29200 RISC microcontroller. The author discusses each processor and offers an overview of key features. The description of the Am29030 and Am29035 concentrates on bus enhancements and extensions which make these products attractive to high-performance cost-sensitive designs. The description of the Am29200 concentrates on the various integrated interfaces and peripherals. Possible future growth of the 29 K family is discussed.<>
