TTL logic real "bad" noise margin is on the low level (0.5V max output vs 0.8V max input). So in theory 2.5V High should work as it has a still better noise margin than the correct Low levels. Look also at the actual Low level voltages on these parts however. Then, one might wonder if Synertek parts were always marginal or they didn't age well, but I can't surely tell :) > > > > On 05/11/2016 21:50, Francesco Messineo wrote: >> >> On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 9:37 PM, didier derny <didier@aida.org> wrote: >>> >>> while checking some signals on the 6502 of my 8032 motherboard >>> I found the 'high' level rather low 2.5v (I expected around 4v...) >>> >>> so I took my SYM1 board and tested several 6502 >>> MOS 6502 around 4v >>> Rockwell 6502 around 4v >>> Rockwell 65c02 around 5v >>> Synertek 6502 around 2.5v >>> CM630 around 4v (bulgarian clone) >>> >>> I tried several 6502 of each type... >> >> >> 2.5V is really a bit outside the acceptable output High level for TTL >> logic. >> 2.7V is the official minimum level for the High state.
