Description

The TS68882 enhanced floating-point co-processor is a full implementation of the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic (754) for use with the THOMSON TS68000 Family of microprocessors. It is a pin and software compatible upgrade of the TS68881 with optimized MPU interface that provides over 1.5 times the performance of the TS68881. It is implemented using VLSI technology to give systems designers the highest possible functionality in a physically small device.
Intended primarily for use as a co-processor to the TS68020/68030 32-bit microprocessor units (MPUs), the TS68882 provides a logical extension to the main MPU integer data processing capabilities. It does this by providing a very high performance floating-point arithmetic unit and a set of floating- point data registers that are utilized in a manner that is analogous to the use of the integer data registers. The TS68882 instruction set is a natural extension of all earlier members of the TS68000 Family, and supports all of the addressing modes of the host MPU. Due to the flexible bus interface of the TS68000 Family, the TS68882 can be used with any of the MPU devices of the TS68000 Family, and it may also be used as a peripheral to non-TS68000 processors.
