The 68EC020 is a microprocessor from Motorola. It is a lower cost version of the Motorola 68020, the difference between the two being 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 RAM.
The 68EC020 was used as the CPU of Commodore's Amiga 1200 home computer, and their Amiga CD32 games console.

Motorola 68008
The Motorola 68008 is an 8/16/32-bit microprocessor made by Motorola. It is a version of the Motorola 68000 with an 8-bit external data bus, as well as a smaller address bus. The original 68000 had a 24-bit address bus and a 16-bit data bus. These relatively large buses made it hard to design a low... -
QUICC
QUICC is the abbreviation of QUad Integrated Communications Controller. The original QUICC was the 68k-based Motorola 68360. It was followed by the PowerPC-based PowerQUICC, PowerQUICC II, and PowerQUICC III. It has many types of interfaces built into the device and was very popular with... -
Freescale CPU32
The Freescale 683xx (formerly Motorola 683xx) is a family of compatible microcontrollers that use a Freescale 68000-based CPU core. The family was designed using a Hardware Description Language, making the parts synthesizable, and amenable to improved fabrication processes, such as die shrinks.... -
Freescale ColdFire
The Freescale ColdFire derives from the 68k microprocessor architecture manufactured for embedded systems development by Freescale Semiconductor (formerly the semiconductor sector of Motorola). The ColdFire instruction set is "assembly source" compatible (by means of translation software available... -
Freescale 68EC040
The 68EC040 is a version of the Motorola 68040 microprocessor intended for embedded controllers. It differs from the 68040 in that it has no FPU or MMU. This makes it less expensive and draw less power. Note: In keeping with general Motorola naming, this CPU is often referred to as the EC40. -
