whether the address should be post-incremented or pre-decremented, which is extremely useful for constructing loops. But with all of these bits already accounted for, only 13 were available for addresses in these instructions, meaning only 8 KB could be addressed directly. This meant the main memory was broken up as four 8 KB blocks. To access memory outside the 8 KB where the instruction was located, the data bytes being pointed to had to contain an indirect address, pointing to some other location in memory. Doing so forced another memory read cycle, slowing performance.

170: 634:

data was not located at this location in memory, but the one encoded in the remaining 15 bits of the address. This style of access allowed blocks of data to be more easily accessed than in systems that provided indirection solely through special instructions or index registers. One could step through memory by incrementing the address value stored in that single location in memory. This also resulted in considerable numbers of math instructions being applied to addresses, and to improve the performance of these operations, the 2650 included a second

was held in three bits in the PSW. An on-die stack is much faster, as the data can be accessed directly without waiting for it to be read from external memory, but it also takes up room on the die and is always limited in size as a result of practical tradeoffs. In the 2650, the return address stack

Signetics continued the development of the 2650, introducing two new models in 1977. The 2650A was a reworked version of the original layout intended to improve yield, and thus reduce cost. Speed remained unchanged at 1.25 MHz for the base model and 2 MHz for the -1 versions. The 2650B was

on most instructions. Many instructions require data to be read from a location in memory, in most CPUs of the era that would be a single byte of data that is stored in memory referred to by a 16-bit location. In the 2650, the high-bit of that 16-bit location indicated indirection, meaning that the

It was a fully static NMOS 8-bit microprocessor. The static nature was unusual for the time, and meant that the processor could be halted simply by stopping the clock signal. Programmers made grateful use of this feature to "single step' through a program using a push-button switch to generate the

was only 15 bits, and the machine could access only a total of 32 KB of memory. The address space was further limited by the use of another two bits of the address to indicate the indexing mode for all logical and arithmetic (i.e. non-branch) instructions. These bits controlled functions like

1032:

Although the instruction LOAD register zero with register zero would appear meaningless, and was officially unsupported, it did set the condition code and was often used to determine the status of this register.. The Signetics Assembler generated code as if it was the instruction IORZ,R0 instead.

957:

The processor had only 13 real address lines, a further 2 address lines were connected to a 2-bit 'page register', resulting in a 32 KB address space. The page register was set when an absolute (direct) branch instruction, which used a full 15-bit address, was executed. All logical and arithmetic

1123:

Only the branch instructions using absolute addressing used all 15 bits of the address field as address. Using such a branch instruction was, therefore, the only way to set the two bits in the page register (controlling bits 14 and 13 of the address bus) and changing the current 8 KB page.

961:

Although the 2650 had only one interrupt input, this was a 'vectored' interrupt – the interrupting device needed to put a zero-relative displacement on the data bus, that would be used as the operand of a ZBSR (zero branch to subroutine relative) instruction to branch to the specified interrupt

1058:

When indexing is specified, the register defined in the instruction becomes the index register, and the source/destination is implicitly Register zero. For indirect indexing, Post indexing is used, i.e. the indirect address is first fetched from memory and then the index is added to it.

958:

instructions used a 13-bit address augmented by the contents of the page register, thereby limiting their scope to an 8 KB page. These 2 upper address lines were also used (multiplexed) to select the appropriate I/O port during I/O operations (Control port, Data port or Extended port).

234:. Production of the 2650 was pushed back, and the CPU was not formally introduced until July 1975. By 1975, several new CPUs had been introduced, designed from the start to be 8-bit machines rather than mimicking an older design, and the 2650's advantages were no longer as compelling. 982:

Many more instructions are available as the behavior of the standard instructions can be modified by setting or clearing status bits: WC (with or without carry) and COM (logical or arithmetic compare). This doubled the number of rotate, add, subtract and compare instructions.

978:

Although the 2650 is basically an 8-bit microprocessor, 64 opcodes are actually 9-bit, and another 32 opcodes are 11-bit (using bits in the address field). Of the remaining 128 8-bit opcodes, 124 (126 in the 2650B) are implemented, giving a total of 444 (446) instructions.

248:(AMS). At that time, most CPU firms were very small and no one would buy a design from a company that might go bankrupt. Second-sourcing was an important guarantee that the design would remain available in this eventuality. AMS was already acting as a second-source for the 962:

routine. Therefore, using indirect addressing, a maximum of 30 interrupt vectors could be stored in the first 64 bytes of memory. (The first three bytes were needed to hold an unconditional branch to the 'reset' routine). This vectored interrupt is also reminiscent of the

from the mid-1970s, machines with 8 and 16 KB of RAM, and ultimately 64 KB, became common and the addressing system on the 2650 became a significant hindrance.

With all arithmetic and logical instructions using absolute (direct) addressing, bits 14 and 13 of the address field are used to indicate the indexing mode as follows:
