[Coco] 6309/6809 power consumption

[wrcooke at wrcooke.net]

   The Hitachi databook is
   here: [1]http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/components/hitachi/_dataBoo
   ks/1991_Hitatchi_8_16_Bit_Microprocessor_Data_Book.pdf

   On page 272 it lists the max current of the C version (3 MHz) as 36 mA
   in operation.  That should be at max speed of 3 Mhz, but not including
   I/O current from the pins.  That amount, however, should be well under
   half the 36 mA listed.  I would make an educated guess of less than 5
   mA.

     HI,
     Does not play Frequency and number of gates play roll in that.. also
     the load of which is put on those gates..,
     So I think good way to know is experiment with a 6309 running a loop
     transferring heaps of data from memory to memory, and measure the
     current that takes..

     I can't seem to find how much current these uPs need. I know the
     63xx uses less current than its Motorola counterpart, but can't seem
     to find this information. Can anyone point me in the right
     direction. Thank you! Salvador
