摘要：

This paper describes the MicroVAX 32, a single chip, 32 bit microprocessor. Implemented in 3 mu m (drawn) dual aluminum NMOS, the MicroVAX 32 features a VAX compatible programming architecture and instruction set, and on-chip demand paged virtual memory management. Its key innovations are a repartitioning of the VAX architecture, which optimizes chip size without degrading performance, and a simplified hardware architecture with similar benefits. The chip contains 125,000 transistor sites, is 8. 7 multiplied by 8. 6 mm in size, and dissipates 3 W of power worst-case.
