DF6802
8-bit Fast Microprocessor
Description
DF6802 8-bit MPU IP Core – High-Performance, Fully Customizable MC6802 Compatible
The DF6802 is an 8-bit synthesizable microprocessor IP Core, fully software-compatible with the Motorola MC6802. Its enhanced internal architecture allows it to execute code up to 4× faster than the original MC6802 at the same clock frequency, making it an ideal choice for automotive, battery-powered, and industrial SoC applications.
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the DF6802 includes two software-controlled power-saving modes – WAIT and HALT – to minimize power consumption, making it perfect for low-power embedded systems.
The DF6802 is fully customizable, delivered in an exact configuration to meet your project requirements, avoiding unnecessary silicon and reducing costs. It includes a fully automated test bench and comprehensive verification suite, enabling easy package validation at every stage of SoC design.
For advanced debugging, the DF6802 integrates DCD’s DoCD™ Hardware Debug System, a real-time, non-intrusive debugger capable of halting, running, stepping, and accessing all microprocessor contents, including registers, program memory, and user-defined peripherals.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
MC6802 Compatible: Run existing software without modification.
-
High Performance: Executes code up to 4× faster than original MC6802.
-
Low Power: WAIT and HALT modes for energy-sensitive applications.
-
Customizable: Include only required features, reducing silicon waste.
-
