Motorola 68020 - Variant

Variant

The 68EC020 is a microprocessor from Motorola. It is a lower cost version of the Motorola 68020. The main difference between the two is that the 68EC020 only has a 24-bit address bus, rather than the 32-bit address bus of the full 68020, and thus is only able to address 16 MB of memory.

The Commodore Amiga 1200 computer and the Amiga CD32 games console used the cost-reduced 68EC020; the Namco System 22 arcade board has also used this processor. It also found use in laser printers. Apple used it in the QMS PS 410 and the LaserWriter II-NTX. Kodak used it in the Ektaplus 7016PS, and Dataproducts used it in the LZR 1260.
