The 6551 Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter (ACIA) was an integrated circuit made by MOS Technology. It served as a companion UART chip for the widely popular 6502 microprocessor. Intended to implement RS-232, its specifications called for a maximum speed of 19,200 bits per second with its onboard baud-rate generator, or 125kbit/s using an external 16x clock.

  • Der MOS Technology 6551 ist ein Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter, kurz ACIA. Er arbeitete vor allem als Unterstützung für den 6502-Mikroprozessor. Geplant, um eine RS-232-Schnittstelle zu implementieren, ist seine Spitzengeschwindigkeit nach Spezifikation 19.200 Bits pro Sekunde bei Verwendung eines externen Quarzes und des internen Teilers. Das Design stammte weitgehend von William (Bill) D. Mensch jr., der bereits den sehr ähnlichen 6850 zuvor bei Motorola entwickelt hatte. Der MOS6551 wurde in zahlreichen Computern verwendet, darunter im Commodore PET, Commodore Plus/4 und in der von Apple Computer. (de)

  • Der MOS Technology 6551 ist ein Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter, kurz ACIA. Er arbeitete vor allem als Unterstützung für den 6502-Mikroprozessor. Geplant, um eine RS-232-Schnittstelle zu implementieren, ist seine Spitzengeschwindigkeit nach Spezifikation 19.200 Bits pro Sekunde bei Verwendung eines externen Quarzes und des internen Teilers. Das Design stammte weitgehend von William (Bill) D. Mensch jr., der bereits den sehr ähnlichen 6850 zuvor bei Motorola entwickelt hatte. Der MOS6551 wurde in zahlreichen Computern verwendet, darunter im Commodore PET, Commodore Plus/4 und in der von Apple Computer. Viele Unternehmen, wie oder Creative Micro Designs (CMD), verkauften Einsteckkarten mit dem 6551 (SwiftLink-232, Datablast, CommPort) und ermöglichten so einen Standard-RS-232-Port für den C64 und C128. Bei der Dr. Evil Lab und der CMD-Karte waren bis 38.400 Bits/s möglich. Da für den externen Quarz eine Frequenz von 1.843.200 Hz vorgesehen war und man im Teilerregister den Teiler ausschalten konnte, so dass nur der 16:1-Vorteiler aktiv blieb, war eine maximale Baudrate von 115.200 Bits pro Sekunde möglich.

  • The 6551 Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter (ACIA) was an integrated circuit made by MOS Technology. It served as a companion UART chip for the widely popular 6502 microprocessor. Intended to implement RS-232, its specifications called for a maximum speed of 19,200 bits per second with its onboard baud-rate generator, or 125kbit/s using an external 16x clock. The 6551 was used in several computers of the 1970s and 1980s, including the Commodore PET and Commodore Plus/4. It was also used by Apple Computer on the Super Serial Card for their Apple II series, and by Radio Shack on the for their Color Computer. Commodore International omitted the 6551 from the popular VIC-20, C64, and C128 home computers. Instead, these systems implemented a bit-banging UART via KERNAL routines. This RS-232 implementation was not reliable over 1200 bit/s (see errata comments in the 6526 article), forcing some programmers of terminal programs to write carefully calibrated custom serial routines. The popular terminal program NovaTerm was able to achieve 4800 bit/s on the C64, and DesTerm achieved 9600 bit/s on the C128. Several other terminal programs achieved 2400 bit/s. Novaterm 9.6 on a Commodore 64 or 128 can achieve a maximum rate of 9600 bit/s on the user port, using an EZ-232 interface, designed by Jim Brain. Several companies, including and Creative Micro Designs, marketed an add-on cartridge containing a 6551 and an industry-standard RS-232 port to allow the C64 and 128 to use high-speed modems from companies such as U.S. Robotics and Hayes Communications. The Dr. Evil and CMD cartridges pushed the 6551 to 38,400 baud and, with a faster-still clock crystal, some end users reported getting 115,200 bit/s from the 6551. The file transfer program disables the baud rate generator in the 6551, allowing 115,200 bit/s transfers with an unmodified clock crystal. (en)
