The Freescale 683XX (formerly Motorola 683XX) is a family of compatible microcontrollers that use a Freescale 68000-based CPU core. The family was designed using a Hardware Description Language, making the parts synthesizable, and amenable to improved fabrication processes, such as die shrinks. There are two CPU cores used in the 683XX family: the 68EC000 and the CPU32. The instruction set of the CPU32 core is similar to the 68020 without bitfield instructions, and with a few instructions unique to the CPU32 core, such as table lookup and interpolate instructions, and a low-power stop mode. The modules of the microcontroller were designed independently and released as new CPUs could be tested. This process let the architects perform "design-ahead" so that when silicon technlogies were available, Motorola had designs ready to implement and go to market. Many of these submodules have been carried forward into the Coldfire line of processors. Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freescale_683XX)
