The Western Design Center, Inc.1 INTRODUCTIONW65C816S Data SheetThe W65C816S is a low power cost sensitive 16-bit microprocessor. The variable length instruction set and manuallyoptimized core size makes the W65C816S an excellent choice for low power System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. The Verilog RTLmodel is available for ASIC design flows. WDC, a Fabless Semiconductor Company, provides packaged chips for evaluationor volume production. To aid in system development, WDC provides a Development System that includes a W65C816DBDeveloper Board, an In-Circuit Emulator (ICE) and the W65cSDS Software Development System, seewww.westerndesigncenter.com for more information.The WDC W65C816S is a fully static CMOS 16-bit microprocessor featuring software compatibility* with the 8-bit NMOSand CMOS 6500-series predecessors. The W65C816S extends addressing to a full 16 megabytes. These devices offer themany advantages of CMOS technology, including increased noise immunity, higher reliability, and greatly reduced powerrequirements. A software switch determines whether the processor is in the 8-bit "emulation" mode, or in the native mode, thusallowing existing systems to use the expanded features.As shown in the W65C816S Processor Programming Model, Figure 2-2, the Accumulator, ALU, X and Y Index registers, andStack Pointer register have all been extended to 16 bits. A new 16-bit Direct Page register augments the Direct Page addressingmode (formerly Zero Page addressing). Separate Program Bank and Data Bank registers provide 24-bit memory addressingwith segmented or linear addressing.Four new signals provide the system designer with many options. The ABORTB input can interrupt the currently executinginstruction without modifying internal register, thus allowing virtual memory system design. Valid Data Address (VDA) andValid Program Address (VPA) outputs facilitate dual cache memory by indicating whether a data segment or program segmentis accessed. Modifying a vector is made easy by monitoring the Vector Pull (VPB) output.KEY FEATURES OF THE W65C816S• Advanced fully static CMOS design for low powerconsumption and increased noise immunity• Wide operating voltage range, 1.8+/- 5%, 2.5+/- 5%,3.0+/- 5%, 3.3+/ - 10%, 5.0+/- 5% specified for usewith advanced low voltage peripherals• Emulation mode allows complete hardware andsoftware compatibility with 6502 designs• 24-bit address bus provides access to 16 MBytes ofmemory space• Full 16-bit ALU, Accumulator, Stack Pointer andIndex Registers• Valid Data Address (VDA) and Valid ProgramAddress (VPA) output for dual cache and cycle stealDMA imple mentation• Vector Pull (VPB) output indicates when interruptvectors are being addressed• Abort (ABORTB) input and associated vector supportsprocessor repairs of bus error conditions• Low power consumption (300uA@1MHz)• Separate program and data bank registers allowprogram segmentation or full 16 MByte linearaddressing• New Direct Register and stack relative addressingprovides capability for re-entrant, re-cursive and relocatableprogramming• 24 addressing modes - 13 original 6502 modes with 92instructions using 256 OpCodes• Wait-for-Interrupt (WAI) and Stop-the-Clock (STP)instructions further reduce power consumption,decrease interrupt latency and allows synchronizationwith external events• Co-Processor (COP) instruction with associated vectorsupports co-processor configurations, i.e., floating pointprocessors• Block move ability*Except for the BBRx, BBSx, RMBx, and SMBx bit manipulation instructions which do not exist for the W65C816SThe Western Design Center W65C816S 7
