16-bit Microprocessors

IPC-16A/500 (PACE)

Manufacturer

National Semiconductor

Category 16-bit microprocessor
Introduction 1975
Technology

First 16-bit single chip microprocessor; P-channel silicon gate MOS technology; -5 V and + 12 V power supply; developed as a single chip implementation of the multi-chip IMP-16; does not have TTL compatible signals and pins; therefore it must be surrounded by special other devices that make appropriate signal conversions; 45 instruction types; 

Max. clock frequency

2 MHz
