580C

580C is a variant of the 580 series of microprocessors, developed by Motorola. It is a 32-bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) processor, designed for embedded systems and real-time applications. The 580C is part of the ColdFire family, which is known for its high performance and low power consumption. It features a Harvard architecture, with separate data and instruction buses, which allows for simultaneous data and instruction fetching. The 580C has a 32-bit internal data bus and a 32-bit external address bus, providing a large address space of 4 gigabytes. It operates at a clock speed of up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for high-speed applications. The processor supports various memory management features, including virtual memory and memory protection. It also includes a floating-point unit, which enhances its computational capabilities. The 580C is widely used in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications, where its robust performance and reliability are highly valued.
