The 78032 is used exclusively in DEC's VAX-based systems, starting with the MicroVAX II in 1985. When clocked at a frequency of 5 MHz, the 78032's integer performance is comparable to the original VAX-11/ 780 of 1977.^[1] The microprocessor can be paired with the MicroVAX 78132 floating point accelerator for improved floating point performance. The 78032 represents a number of firsts for DEC. It is DEC's first single-chip microprocessor implementation of the VAX ISA and DEC's first self-fabricated microprocessor. The MicroVAX 78032 is also the first semiconductor device to be registered for protection under the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984. The MicroVAX 78032 contains 125,000 transistors on an 8.7 by 8.6 mm (74.82 mm^2) die that was fabricated in DEC's ZMOS process, a 3.0 um NMOS logic process with two layers of aluminum interconnect. The die is packaged in a 68-pin surface-mounted leaded chip carrier.

It interfaces to the MicroVAX 78032 via the DAL bus and a few control lines. The MicroVAX 78132 is responsible for executing 61 out of 70 floating-point instructions defined by the MicroVAX subset of the VAX ISA and accelerates nine integer instructions. The MicroVAX 78132 has a 100 ns microcycle divided into four 25 ns clock phases which is generated by a 40 MHz input clock. It is composed of five "elements": a 67-bit fraction processor, a 13-bit exponent processor, a 1-bit sign processor, a microsequencer and a bus interface unit. The MicroVAX 78132 contains 32,141 transistors on a die measuring 8.4 mm by 6.6 mm (55.44 mm^2). It was fabricated in DEC's ZMOS process, a 3.0 um NMOS process with two layers of aluminum interconnect; and is packaged in a 68-pin surface-mounted leaded chip carrier.^[2] Other vendors[edit] An identical copy of the 78032 was manufactured 1989/90 in East Germany as the U80701. Another clone of the 78032 was manufactured in the Soviet Union under the designation KL1807VM3 (Russian: KL1807VM3).^[3] References[edit] 1. ^ Dobberpuhl, Daniel W.; Supnik, Robert M.; Witek, Richard T.
