Abstract: The chip architecture of an MOS microprocessor chip includes data bus input-output buffer circuitry located along the lower right hand edge of the chip. High order address buffer output circuitry is located along the bottom of the chip. Directly to the left of the data bus input-output buffer circuitry is the arithmetic logic unit circuitry, and to the right of this and adjacent to the high order address bit buffer circuitry is located a register section including first accumulator register, a second accumulator register, high and low order index registers, a high order incrementer and an associated program counter, a low order incrementer and associated program counter, a high order stack pointer register and a low order stack pointer register, and a temporary register arranged on the surface of the microprocessor chip in a particular sequence. To the left of the register section and along the lower left hand edge of the chip is located a plurality of low order address bit buffer circuits.

Abstract: A MOSFET voltage booster circuit generates a stepped up DC voltage from a lower magnitude supply voltage and a periodic input signal. A plurality of such MOSFET voltage booster circuits, which are formed only from components integrated in the MOSFET integrated circuit chip, may be formed on the chip near corresponding sections of circuitry requiring a high DC bias signal. A free-running oscillator circuit may provide the required periodic input signal.
