(hD6309) href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=hitachi">hitachi' s version of the {Motorola 6809} {microprocessor}. Compatible with the 6809, it added two new eight-bit href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=registers">registers that could be added to form a second 16-bit register, and all four eight-bit registers could form a 32-bit register. It also featured division, and some 32-bit arithmetic and was generally 30% faster in native mode. This information, surprisingly, was never published by hitachi. {Technical reference (http://www.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca/People/Alan_DeKok/interests/6309.techref)}. (1997-03-21)
