The 80286-80287-A microprocessor is a microprocessor with memory management and protection capabilities. The 80286 is a 16-bit microprocessor that was introduced in 1982. It was the first 8086-based CPU with memory management and protection abilities. The 80286 is designed for multiuser and multitasking environments and is six times faster than the 8086 microprocessor. 

The 80286 CPU has a 24-bit address bus and can address 16 Mbytes of physical memory. The 80286 CPU and the supporting operating system manage the virtual memory process. Virtual memory is a large logical memory space that is not actually available. Large application programs can be executed by dividing them into smaller segments. 
The 80286 has an integrated segmentation unit and protected modes to allow multitasking OSes and more memory (up to 16MB). It was used for that purpose in early versions of OS/2 and Windows.
