General Description

The NS32532 is a high-performance 32-bit microprocessor in the Series 32000® family. It is software compatible with the previous microprocessors in the family but with a greatly enhanced internal implementation.

The high-performance specifications are the result of a four-stage instruction pipeline, on-chip instruction and data caches, on-chip memory management unit and a significantly increased clock frequency. In addition, the system interface provides optimal support for applications spanning a wide range, from low-cost, real-time controllers to highly sophisticated, general purpose multiprocessor systems.

The NS32532 integrates more than 370,000 transistors fabricated in a 1.25 µm double-metal CMOS technology. The advanced technology and mainframe-like design of the device enable it to achieve more than 10 times the throughput of the NS32032 in typical applications.

In addition to generally improved performance, the NS32532 offers much faster interrupt service and task switching for real-time applications.
