General Information |
The Intel 3002 was Intel’s entry in the Bit-slice microprocessor market. The Bit-slice architecture is one of the most interesting innovations in microprocessor design. The Intel 3002 was Intel’s first entry into the Bit-slice marketplace and the 3002 was the first bipolar Bit-slice device. It is an unusual bit-slice in that it was a 2-bit device while most others devices were 4-bit devices. It made up for it’s limited register width and instruction set with a large number of buses and horizontal microprogrammability. |
