Motorola 6800 family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 74.109.14.154 (talk) at 07:11, 3 June 2013 (MOS Technology had other business making semiconductor chips before Bill mensch et al from Motorola joined the company to start a microprocessor division there.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The 6800 family of 8-bit microprocessors (µPs) and microcontrollers (µCs) is based upon the Motorola 6800 CPU. The architecture also inspired the MOS Technology 6502, and that company initially started in the microprocessor business producing 6800 replacements.

The chips primarily competed against Intel's 8-bit family of chips (such as the 8080, or their relations, the ZiLOG Z80 range).
