Fleshing out Instruction Set

A project log for 8 Bit Breadboard CPU

A home-brew 8 bit Microprocessor built on a breadboard 64K Address Space, IRQ, and DMA 16 Bit Stack Pointer, 4 8 bit Registers or 2 16 bit

I updated my instruction list using different addressing modes and the new ALU functions.  I am over by 57 Instructions.  Going to have to do some prioritizing.  I can't beleive they didn't even use all 256 Instructions on the 6502 and others.   I guess when they were drawing all the microcode manually on massive film, walking on it with their socks it kind of makes sense.

In your PC diagram : the DOWN inputs of the '193 are left open... That would work for LS but not when you switch to HC or HCT.
