I can't see any changes jumping out at me, other than the addition of the mask copyright. Presumably the behavioural difference is known? Or is it a difference in quality, in some way?

So far I think the ESD protection at the pads was changed and a the back-bias generator was changed very(!) slightly.

Apart from that I didn't see anything else - but I didn't take a look at full resolution yet.


My guess is that it was just a change for a different manufacturing process. Note: the R2 was introduced 1984
and the R3 apparently 1986 and MOS migrated from NMOS to HMOS-I and HMOS-II inbetween IIRC.

MOS/CSG did the same with the 6581 which had almost identical layouts from R2 to R3 and R4. Only changes for
the manufacturing process (e.g. die shrink).
