Chapter 3 — Advanced Math Features — describes the advanced mathematical features of the
80C196NU. The 80C196NU is the first member of the MCS
80C196NU. The 80C196NU is the first member of the MCS

96 microcontroller family to in-
corporate enhanced 16-bit multiplication instructions for performing multiply-accumulate oper-
ations and a dedicated, 32-bit accumulator register for storing the results of these operations. The
accumulator and the enhanced instructions combine to decrease the amount of time required to
perform multiply-accumulate operations. The instructions and accumulator support signed and
unsigned integers as well as signed fractional data.
