It (63$09) is a CMOS chip, and the power draw is a function of the 
driving clock frequency. I have the C version rated to run at 4MHz. I 
understand there was a D version also that could run faster.
In any event, its power draw is in milliwatts. My 2 meg memory kit is 
also fitted with CMOS memory, 2 ea 1Meg. Essentially zero heat.  Running 
on an external psu, the hottest chip in my coco3 is the gime.
With the top on it, the temp rise is about 2F 24 hours after laying a 
furniture blanket over the whole thing.
