AMD Élan

AMD Élan is a family of 32-bitsystems on a chip (SoCs) marketed by AMD based on x86microprocessors. They are designed for use in embedded systems and were backed with a long-term supply guarantee to meet the needs of embedded processors. However, when AMD acquired the Geode division from National Semiconductor in August 2003, the product was suddenly discontinued. The Élan processors saw a reasonable amount of use in the embedded world.

In October 1993, AMD introduced the Am386SC processor, which integrated an Am386SXLV CPU core with a collection of PC/AT-compatible peripherals. This processor, marketed as Élan SC300 and Élan SC310, was the first in AMD's Élan series of SoCs.
