Motorola 6809

The Motorola 6809 is an 8 -bit microprocessor and further development of the successful also supplied by Motorola model 6800, which was available in various versions from 1978. The combination of the two 8 -bit accumulator register of the processor a processing width of 16 bits is possible in the arithmetic area. The maximum clock rate is 2 MHz, the clock is provided either by a built- in microprocessor or an externally connected clock generator. The latter version is identified by a processor name suffix symbol " E".

Differences for 6800

  • New commands to load effective address in register and to change the contents of registers
  • New commands for affecting the Stacks
  • New page register in order to improve the direct addressing mode
  • Indexed addressing is augmented with new modes
  • 16-bit relative branches could be used to create larger position independent programs
  • 16-bit data processing

Use

It was used among others in several home computers and arcade games, there mostly as a second processor for sound and input control. In addition, he was, for example, Logic Analyzer 1630A/1631A, used by the company HP as standard CPU in screen-based instruments such as the in the signal generators 8115A, 8118A and 8175A, and in the 54200/54201A oscilloscopes and many other instruments. In the manuals of these devices are frequently found also measurement examples and test setups with the 6809th
