  Intel 80386 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intel 80386 is a microprocessor which was used as the central processing unit (CPU) of many personal computers from 1986 until 1994 and later.
The predecessor of the 80386 was the Intel 80286, a 16-bit processor with a segment-based memory management and protection system.
Though Intel would shortly introduce the 80486 and eventually the Intel Pentium line of processors, the support in the 386 for the 32-bit flat memory model would be arguably the most important feature change until the release of EM64T in 2004.

 Intel 80286 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Intel 80286 (also called iAPX 286, for example in the Intel programmer's manual for the 286) is an x86-family 16-bit microprocessor that was introduced by Intel on February 1, 1982.
The 80286 performs more than twice the speed of its predecessor (the Intel 8086 and Intel 80186) per clock cycle.
The 80286 is able to address up to 16 MiB of RAM, in contrast to the 1 MiB the 8086 can work with.

 A CPU History
The first four generations of Intel processor took on the "8" as the series name, which is why the technical types refer to this family of chips as the 8088, 8086, and 80186.
In 1988, Intel released the 386SX, which was basically a low-fat version of the 386.
In 1990, Intel released the 80386SL, which was basically an 855,00 transistor version of the 386SX processor, with ISA compatibility and power management circuitry.

 The Segment Descriptor Cache   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
As early as the 80286, all Intel x86 processors have included an entity called the "segment-descriptor cache" which works behind the scenes, hidden from you.
From the 80286 to 80486, the meaning of "segment-descriptor cache" was unambiguous, referring to an internal microprocessor structure that stores the internal representation of the segment registers.
According to Intel, each time any segment register is loaded in real mode, the base address is calculated as 16 times the segment value, while the access rights and size limit attributes are given fixed, "real-mode compatible" values.

 Introduction to Protected-Mode
It seems that Intel engineers assumed that once you were running in protected-mode, you'll never want to go back to a lowly real-mode environment.
Another deficiency of the 80286 was related to the maximum size of segments.
Intel's decision to keep the segmentation unit alive and kicking under protected-mode was largly influenced by the desire to retain compatibility and ease porting of old applications to the new environment.

Thus the 80286 and 80386 microprocessors are compatible with the addressing scheme of the 8086 family.
In protected mode, the 80286 or 80386 microprocessor adds a series of features that allow it to safely and reliably expand the number of programs the computer can be working on at one time.
Because the 80286 or 80386 have more than one megabyte address range, the wrap-around feature of the 8086 family of microprocessors does not work on the 80286 or 80386 (in real mode) unless the A20 line is low.

The 80286 microprocessor is available with a clock speed of 8, 10, or 12.5 MHz from Intel with other vendors supplying a 16 MHz version.
The 80286 is designed to operate at temperatures that range between 0C and + 70C.
Standard logic circuits have a maximum logic 0 voltage of 0.4 V, and the 80286 has a maximum logic 0 voltage of 0.45 V. This is a difference of 0.05 V. Table 7-2.

 Intel 80286
The 80286 was the chip used in IBM's AT (advanced technology) system.
The 286 was the first major step up in PC processors, providing significant performance increases over the 8088 and 8086--double or more performance at the same clock speed.
The 80286 is of course considered obsolete today.

An interesting feature of this processor is that it was the first x86 processor capable of switching from real mode to protected mode, enabling the use of up to 16 MiB of system memory, and allowing certain degree of protection of the memory zones used by applications.
