    MOTOROLA MC88100

    Presented by: Kenjie D. Martir


    Introduction
    In the late 1980s, the computing landscape was on the brink of a paradigm shift,
    transitioning from traditional Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) architectures
    to the promising realm of Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC). It was against
    this backdrop of technological evolution that Motorola unveiled its groundbreaking
    MC88100 microprocessor in 1989. Representing a bold departure from conventional
    design philosophies, the MC88100 embodied the essence of RISC principles, offering
    a streamlined instruction set, enhanced performance capabilities, and architectural
    innovations that set it apart in a fiercely competitive market. This introduction sets the
    stage for a journey into the realm of microprocessor history, where the Motorola
    MC88100 stands as a trailblazer, shaping the course of computing evolution for
    decades to come.
    The Motorola MC88100 microprocessor is typically packaged in a Ceramic Pin Grid
    Array (CPGA) package. This particular package style features an array of pins arranged
    around the edges of the integrated circuit (IC) package.
    The MC88100 processor typically comes in a 179-pin CPGA package. These pins are
    used for various purposes such as power supply, data input/output, address lines, control
    signals, and other communication interfaces necessary for the operation of the
    microprocessor within a system.
