BUS INTERFACE UNIT
6.6.1.1 System Configuration
The Intel387 SX Math Coprocessor can be interfaced to the Intel386 EX embedded processor as
shown in Figure 6-15.
Figure 6-15. Intel386 EX Processor to Intel387 SX Math Coprocessor Interface
A dedicated communication protocol makes possible high-speed transfer of opcodes and oper-
ands between the Intel386 EX processor and the Intel387 SX math coprocessor. Most control pins
of the Intel387 SX Math Coprocessor are connected directly to Intel386 EX processor pins.
