MCS96 question

[Scabben]

Hi, I'm upgrading a vintage synthesizer and need to swap the processor. Currently there is a N80C196KB12 and I want to swap it for a N80C196KB16 with a FPO ending with "G". I managed to get a chip with a FPO ending with a "U". Is that likely to work ? I have not found any info on Internet regarding that. The chip is marked '86  '91 so it seems to be a quite late chip ?

thanks / Scabben

Hello @Scabben,

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

Yes, they are quite old, I don't have any information from this side regarding those processors.

I'm thinking that those letters could be attached to the stepping.
