Color clock

Dirk Hoffmann edited this page Feb 28, 2019 · 1 revision

The color clock runs at half the speed of the CPU, at about 3.5 MHz.

Elementary relationships:

  • 1 HIRES pixel = 70 ns
  • 1 LORES pixel = 140 ns
  • 1 CPU cycle = 140 ns = 1 LORES pixels = 2 HIRES pixels
  • 8 bus cycles = 16 LOWRES pixels, 32 HIRES pixels
