Visual Guide to 65xx CPU Timing

The animated "rubber band" diagrams in this article are drawn to scale (unlike most in data sheets). They offer insight into real-world timing margins and the tradeoffs between them.

Comments and questions are welcome here in this forum topic. The article itself is subject to editing and re-editing if there's anything I've overlooked, and may be considered a work in progress. :) Thanks, Garth and Ed, for your advance input on what I've written so far.

Is this post in light of my misconceptions in the DMA thread?

No, some of these points have already been the subject of discussion. But it can be a slippery topic to deal with piecemeal. That's why I wanted to try to clear the deck and lay out the basics. As for the diagrams, I know that's how I mentally visualize timing matters myself. So I decided to render them as GIF's, on the premise that a picture is worth 1,000 words. (or 1024 words maybe!) :)

Looks good. Guess you were staying up past bedtime to make timing charts. :lol:

Cheers, fellas -- 'ppreciate the response.

I'm pleased with how the animated GIF's turned out. I just hope they render properly in all the various browsers out there. So far the only problem I've noticed is that GIF03 makes me seasick if I watch it too long! :wink:
