What are the different s-specs at the end of the part numbers for MCS® 96 microcontroller mean and what are the different packaging options available?
The s-specs are Intel specification number for different packaging. For example, U87C196MH SF81 is referring to tube packaging.

2) Different package types may have the same S-Spec number for different package options.
How can I visually determine the stepping identification information on the MCS® 96 Microcontrollers?
Stepping information is contained in the lot code identifier that is in the second line marking on the topside of the chip. The second line marking is referred to as the Intel FPO# (Finished Process Order) and is an eight digit number. The lot code identifier, Intel year, work week of the finished product was manufactured can be viewed by referencing to the following FPO# Guide:
| X |
X |
XX |
XXXX |
| Test Site |
Year |
Work week |
Lot Code Identifier |
Example: FPO# L209555A would indicate the product was produced in 2002 in workweek 9. The stepping of the product would be "A" stepping.
How can I identify the 8XC196KB stepping?
To identify the stepping, use the FPO# Guide from above. If the last letter in the line is "B", the part is a B-0 step. If the letter is an "F", or "G", the part is a C-1 stepping.
We haven't heard a lot about the MCS 96 microcontroller in awhile, is Intel discontinuing the product line?
These products have been discontinued. PCN 106013 has been released with the specifics on this product discontinuance.
What are the differences between the 8XC196KB and the 8XC196KB16?
If both parts are designated as the C-0 stepping, then the parts are virtually identicalexcept that the 196KB is a 12MHz part and the 196KB16 is a 16 MHz part.
If the 196KB is a B-0 stepping, there are a few additional differences that should be considered when migrating from one part to the other. Many of the DC, AC, and A/D parameters found in the 8XC196KB/8XC196KB16 datasheet differ between the parts, and a number of errata have been resolved on the C-1 stepping. The 8xC196KB Specification Update lists these errata.
Does Intel offer extended temperature part for its MCS 96 microcontrollers?
Yes. Intel offers a wide range of MCS 96 microcontrollers with extended temperature. Please refer to MCS 96 MCU Line Card for complete listing of products.
