EZ-186 Courseware consists of 32 Bit 186 processor based board, Windows compatible software, student workbook and Instructor workbook. The software includes Integrated Development system with built in C compiler. The EZ-186 board integrates 186 CPU and a high performance ANSI/IEEE 754 compliant 64-bit hardware floating point unit (FPU).

The FPU provides arithmetic instructions to handle numeric data and transcendental functions for sine, tangent, logarithms, etc, making this controller useful for intensive computational applications. It is estimated to be 10-50 times faster than software-emulate on an 8/16-bit controller without a FPU.

EZ-186 Tutor Board supports up to 15 external interrupts. There are a total of seven timers, including one programmable interval timer (PIT) that provides three 16-bit PIT timers and three 16-bit GP timers, plus a software timer. These timers can support timing or counting external events. The software timer provides a very efficient hardware time base with microsecond resolution. A real-time clock (RTC) provides time-of-day, 100-year calendar and 114 bytes of battery backed RAM.

Two industrial-standard 16550-compatible UARTs support baud rates up to 1.152 M baud. One synchronous serial interface (SSI) supports full-duplex bi-directional communication. EZ-186 Tutor Board boots from on-board 256K 16-bit ACTF Flash, and supports up to 256K 16-bit battery-backed SRAM.

There are 32 programmable multifunctional I/O lines (PIO) that can be used as general I/O or other functions. Two supervisor chips monitor 5V and 3.3V and provide power failure detection, watchdog and system reset. The 2.5V is used for the CPU CORE and 3.3V for the I/O operation. Signal lines on headers are 3.3V output, and 5V maximum input.
