	65816 Microprocessor - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		The 65816 Microprocessor (also: 65C816), a 16-bit CPU developed by the Western Design Center (WDC), is an expanded and compatible successor to the venerable MOS Technology 6502.
		The 65816 was also co-manufactured by GTE, Sanyo and a couple of other semiconductor companies during the mid-late '80's and early '90s.
		A 6502 pin compatible version of the 65816 was also produced by WDC called the 65802 (also: 65C802) which had restricted memory addressing due to pin compatibility limits, but was otherwise identical.

		The microprocessor was born by reducing the word size of the CPU from 32 bits to 4 bits, so that the transistors of its logic circuits would fit onto a single part.
		A seminal microprocessor in the world of spaceflight was RCA's RCA 1802 (aka CDP1802, RCA COSMAC) (introduced in 1976) which was used in NASA's Voyager and Viking spaceprobes of the 1970s, and onboard the Galileo probe to Jupiter (launched 1989, arrived 1995).
		These microprocessors were used in the AT&T 3B5 and 3B15 minicomputers; in the 3B2, the world's first desktop supermicrocomputer; in the "Companion", the world's first 32-bit laptop computer; and in "Alexander", the world's first book-sized supermicrocomputer, featuring ROM-pack memory cartridges similar to today's gaming consoles.

	Microprocessor - Information from Reference.com
		Microprocessors are classified by the semiconductor technology of their design (TTL, transistor-transistor logic; CMOS, complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor; or ECL, emitter-coupled logic), by the width of the data format (4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit) they process; and by their instruction set (CISC, complex-instruction-set computer, or RISC, reduced-instruction-set computer; see RISC processor).
		A microprocessor (sometimes abbreviated µP) is a programmable digital electronic component that incorporates the functions of a central processing unit (CPU) on a single semiconducting integrated circuit (IC).
		The microprocessor was born by reducing the word size of the CPU from 32 bits to 4 bits, so that the transistors of its logic circuits would fit onto a single part.

		Well, the 65816, when it runs at the same speed as the Intel processors—meaning the 8086 and the 80286 or the 80386—one of our bus cycles equals four of theirs.
		Western Design Center is the forerunner, or at least it appears to be the forerunner, in microprocessor technology in CMOS in [terms of] applications-specific core microprocessor use and licensing.

		The central processing unit (CPU) is the most well known microprocessor, but many other components in a computer have them, such as the GPU on a video card.
		From humble beginnings as the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors over every other form of computer; every system from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now use a microprocessor at their core.

		Read/Write (R/W) When the R/W output signal is in the high state, the microprocessor is reading data from memory or I/O. When in the low state, the Data Bus contains valid data from the microprocessor which is to be stored at the addressed memory location.
		A low input logic level will halt the microprocessor in its current state (note that when in the Emulation mode, the G65SC802 stops only during a read cycle).
		The "long" addressing modes may be used with the G65SC802; however, the high byte of the address is not available to the hardware.
