Architecture of the WE32200 chip set
M.S. Nelson, J. Cruz-Rios, B. Ng, W.S. Wu · 1988
Four members of the WE32200 chip set are described. They are the WE32200 central processing unit (CPU), the WE32201 memory management unit (MMU), the WE32204 direct memory access controller (DMAC), and the WE32206 math acceleration unit (MAU). These chips constitute the VLSI core of a general-purpose computing environment supporting virtual memory and IEEE standard floating point arithmetic. The internal architecture of the microprocessor is presented, and the novel features of the four units are examined.>
