Abstract :
This paper describes the design and performance of a 16-bit microprocessor chip integrating more than 300K transistors on an area of 105 mm2. The circuit has a large on-chip microprogram memory and is used for special peripheral control applications. A 2-um NMOS technology with polycide gates and two metal layers has been applied. The circuit operates at 25 MHz with a typical instruction cycle time of 200 ns.
