What is the difference between the aJ-80 and aJ-100?

Both chips are actually identical silicon. All that is different is the package and the maximum rated clock speed. The aJ-80 brings out fewer pins. For example, the data bus is 8 bits wide compared to the aJ-100 32-bit data bus. Because the cores are the same, the aJ-100 detailed reference manual is also the aJ-80 technical reference. All internal registers and functions are identical.

For example, there are five GPIO ports on both. The same port pins are just not brought out to the outside world. The aJ80 has GPIO A-E just as the aJ100 does. You can write to the same GPIO bits on both. On the aJ80 some of those bits will only change state on the die inside the package, not a device pin.
