Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The Motorola 96000 is a family of DSP chips produced by Motorola. They are based on the earlier Motorola 56000 and remain software compatible with them, but have been updated to a full 32-bit floating point implementation. Many of the design features of the 9600 remain similar to the 56000. Where the 56k grouped two 24-bit data and an 8-bit status register into a single 56-bit accumulator, the 96k groups three 32-bit registers into a 96-bit accumulator. Unlike the 56k, the 96000 "family" consisted of a single model, the 96002. It was nowhere near as successful as the 56k, and was only produced for a short period of time. Today its role is filed by products based on the StarCore. This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
