The Am29100 was a family of 16-bit bit-slice microprocessors designed by AMD and introduced in 1982. This family was aimed to compete directly with DECs LSI-11 MPU. Unlike the Am2900 family, the 29100 introduced considerably more complex circuitry on a single chip such as scratchpad RAM, a barrel shifter, and bit manipulation capabilities.

Architecture

The Am29116/7 were slightly more capable than the basic bit-slice microprocessor. Even so, they were not quiet a complete processor as the entire flow of the program still had to be done externally (e.g. using the Am29112 microsequencer or custom logic) to handle subroutines, and memory access.
