The Intel387TM DX Math CoProcessor (MCP) is an extension of the Intel386TM microprocessor architecture.
The combination of the Intel387 DX MCP with the Intel386TM DX Microprocessor dramatically increases the
processing speed of computer application software which utilize mathematical operations. This makes an ideal
computer workstation platform for applications such as financial modeling and spreadsheets, CAD/CAM, or
graphics.
The Intel387 DX Math CoProcessor adds over seventy mnemonics to the Intel386 DX Microprocessor instruc-
tion set. Specific Intel387 DX MCP math operations include logarithmic, arithmetic, exponential, and trigono-
metric functions. The Intel387 DX MCP supports integer, extended integer, floating point and BCD data
formats, and fully conforms to the ANSI/IEEE floating point standard.
The Intel387 DX Math CoProcessor is object code compatible with the Intel387 SX MCP, and upward object
code compatible from the 80287 and 8087 math coprocessors. Object code for Intel386 DX/Intel387 DX is
also compatible with the Intel486TM microprocessor. The Intel387 DX MCP is manufactured on 1 micron,
CHMOS IV technology and packaged in a 68-pin PGA package.
