The ILA 9200 is a didactic microprocessor, brain of the pianist robot Don Cuco El Guapo, which is only one of its many possible applications, has a total of ten million transistors in a surface of 150 mm, which means that in an area of 3 x 50 mm are integrated about a quarter of a million transistors.
In 1985, the Ibero-American Cooperation in Science and Technology for Development Countries, called CYTED-D V Centenario, was launched, with the aim of Spain financing the mobility of researchers throughout Ibero-America and actively interacting in each one of their disciplines to work in harmony and coordination in the development of their research and scientific projects with greater success. In 1990, the project for the Design and Construction of a Microprocessor "ILA 9200" is derived from a CYTED-D Microelectronics Subprogram and is a joint project coordinated between Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Spain and Mexico. >
ILA refers to the fact that the participating countries are Ibero-Latin American, 92 because the microprocessor should be ready for implementation in 1992, and because it was the first version the account was started with 00.
In the design, development and manufacture of the microprocessor were distributed each of the tasks, being responsible for Colombia and Argentina of the Communication unit; Spain took over the control unit, and Mexico carried out the Operative unit.
In the Department of Microelectronics of the ICUAP Institute of Sciences of BUAP, the arithmetic logic unit was designed, 10-micron CMOS technology was used with two levels of metal and a polysilicon gate manufactured at the National Microelectronics Center of Barcelona . For the design of the integrated circuit, MC Alejandro Pedrosa, Alberto Mendoza, Javier Méndez, José Ignacio Becerra and Arnulfo Lara, used a mask editor - TEDMOS V -, developed in Brazil, at the Electronic Computing Nucleus of the University of Rio de Janeiro.
