Words starting with 16b
Maybe these words will be useful:
- 16 bit — (architecture, programming) Using words containing sixteen bits. This adjective often refers to the number of bits used internally by a computer's CPU. E.g. "The Intel 8086 is a sixteen bit processor". Its external data bus or address bus may be narrower. The term may also refer to the size of an instruction in the computer's instruction set or to any other item of data. See also 16-bit application.
- 16-bit application — (operating system) Software for MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows which originally ran on the 16-bit Intel 8088 and 80286 microprocessors. These used a segmented address space to extend the range of addresses from what is possible with just a 16-bit address. Programs with more than 64 kilobytes of code or data therefore had to waste time switching between segments. Furthermore, programming with segments is more involved than programming in a flat address space, giving rise to warts like memory models in C and C++. Compare 32-bit application.
- 16450 — (hardware) A UART with a one-byte FIFO buffer. The 16450 is a higher speed, fixed version of the 8250. It was superseded by the 16550. The 16450 was used for the IBM PC AT and PS/2 but will not work in a IBM PC XT.
- 16550 — (hardware) A version of the 16450 UART with a 16-byte FIFO. Superseded by the 16550A. This chip might not operate correctly with all software. The 16C550 is a CMOS version.
- 16550a — (hardware) A version of the 16550 UART. Superseded by the 16650.
- 16650 — (hardware) A version of the 16550A UART with a 32-byte FIFO. Superseded by the 16750C.
- 16750c — (hardware) A UART with a 64-byte FIFO. The 16C750 is a CMOS version.
- 16c550 — 16550
- 16c750 — 16750C
