March 1997
High Performance Microprocessor with Memory Management and Protection
Description
The Intersil 80C286/883 is a static CMOS version of the NMOS 80286 microprocessor. The 80C286/883 is an advanced, high-performance microprocessor with specially optimized capabilities for multiple user and multi-tasking systems. The 80C286/883 has built-in memory protection that supports operating system and task isolation as well as program and data privacy within tasks. The 80C286/883 includes memory management capabilities that map 230 (one gigabyte) of virtual address space per task into 224 bytes (16 megabytes) of physical memory. The 80C286/883 is upwardly compatible with 80C86 and 80C88 software (the 80C286/883 instruction set is a superset of the 80C86/80C88 instruction set).
