Intel387™ SX MATH COPROCESSOR
The Intel387TM SX Math CoProcessor is an extension to the Intel386TM SX microprocessor architecture. The combination of the Intel387TM SX with the Intel386TM SX microprocessor dramatically increases the processing speed of computer application software that utilizes high performance floating-point operations. An internal Power Management Unit enables the Intel387TM SX to perform these floating-point operations while maintaining very low power consumption for portable and desktop applications. The internal Power Management Unit effectively reduces power consumption by 95% when the device is idle.
The Intel387TM SX Math CoProcessor is available in a 68-pin PLCC package, and is manufactured on Intel’s advanced 1.0 micron CHMOS IV technology.
