Component and Revision Identifiers
To assist users, the microprocessor holds a component identifier and revision identifier in its DX
register after reset. The upper 8 bits of DX hold the component identifier, 23H. (The lower nibble,
3H, identifies the Intel386 architecture, while the upper nibble, 2H, identifies the second member
of the Intel386 microprocessor family.)
The lower 8 bits of DX hold the revision level identifier. The revision identifier will, in general,
chronologically track those component steppings that are intended to have certain improvements or
distinction from previous steppings. The revision identifier will track that of the Intel386 CPU
whenever possible. However, the revision identifier value is not guaranteed to change with every
stepping revision or to follow a completely uniform numerical sequence, depending on the type or
intent of the revision or the manufacturing materials required to be changed. Intel has sole
discretion over these characteristics of the component. The initial revision identifier for the
Intel386 EX microprocessor is 09H.

Package Thermal Specifications
The Intel386 EX microprocessor is specified for operation with a minimum case temperature
(TCASE(MIN)) of -40° C and a maximum case temperature (TCASE(MAX)) dependent on power
dissipation (see Figures 4 through 7). The case temperature can be measured in any environment to
determine whether the microprocessor is within the specified operating range. The case
temperature should be measured at the center of the top surface opposite the pins.
An increase in the ambient temperature (TA) causes a proportional increase in the case temperature
(TCASE) and the junction temperature (TJ), which is the junction temperature on the die itself. A
packaged device produces thermal resistance between junction and case temperatures (θJC) and
between junction and ambient temperatures (θJA). The relationships between the temperature and
thermal resistance parameters are expressed by these equations:
TJ = TCASE + P × θJC
TA = TJ – P × θJA
TCASE = TA + P × [θJA – θJC]
P = power dissipated as heat = VCC × ICC
A safe operating temperature can be calculated from the above equations by using the maximum
safe TJ of 120° C, the power drawn by the chip in the specific design, and the θJC value from Table
6. The θJA value depends on the airflow (measured at the top of the chip) provided by the system
ventilation, board layout, board thickness, and potentially other factors in the design of the
application. The θJA values are given for reference only and are not guaranteed.
