Introduction
The Innovasic Semiconductor IA8044 and IA8344 are ―plug-and-play‖ drop-in replacements and
are form, fit, and function compatible parts to the Intel 8044 and 8344 (see
These devices are produced using
Innovasic’s Managed IC Lifetime Extension System (MILES™). This cloning technology, which
produces replacement ICs beyond simple emulations, ensures complete compatibility with the
original device, including any ―undocumented features.‖ Additionally, the MILES™ process
captures the clone design in such a way that production of the clone can continue even as silicon
technology advances. The IA8044 and IA8344 replace the obsolete Intel 8044 and 8344, allowing
users to retain existing board designs, software compilers/assemblers, and emulation tools—thus
avoiding expensive redesign efforts.
The IA8044 and IA8344 are Fast Single-Chip 8-Bit Microcontrollers with an integrated
SDLC/HDLC serial interface controller. They are fully functional 8-Bit Embedded Controllers
that execute all ASM51 instructions and have the same instruction set as the Intel 80C51. The
IA8044 and IA8344 can access the instructions from two types of program memory, serve
software and hardware interrupts, and provide interface for serial communications and a timer
system. The IA8044 and IA8344 are fully compatible with the Intel 8X44 series.
This data sheet documents all necessary engineering information about the IA8044 and IA8344
including functional and I/O descriptions, electrical characteristics, and applicable timing.
