Quite likely. The chip was renamed for marketing
reasons IIRC (it was a 16
bit chip with 32 bit registers, renamed as a 32 bit chip with a 16 bit bus
or some such).
It was renamed after the 32032 hit the market, same architecture with 32-bit
external data paths instead of the 16 bits of the earlier chip. Somewhere
in the storage locker I still have original data sheets for both. I think.
