Applications
The MC68A50P was used in retro computing systems built around Motorola 6800, 6802, and 6809 microprocessors, including industrial controllers, early computer systems, and telecom equipment. This adapter handled serial data transmission between the MPU and peripherals such as modems, terminals, and other serial devices. It remains relevant for restoration and maintenance of vintage 6800-based hardware.
This Motorola MC68A50P ACIA 24-pin DIP IC has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. The chip body is intact with no cracks or damage, and all 24 pins appear straight and undamaged. Date code T6A8406 is visible on the chip. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
