The '''Motorola 68000''' is a 16-bit microprocessor with internal 32-bit architecture and buses, introduced in 1979.


It requires +5 V<sub>p-p</sub> only and came initially in 64-pin DIL packages.  The external bus is asynchronous.
It requires +5 V power only and came initially in 64-pin DIL packages.  The external bus is asynchronous.


The 68000 has non-multiplexed data (16 bit) and address (24 bit) buses.  The '''68008''' was a version with an 8-bit external data bus, initially available in a 48-pin DIL package.  The '''68010''' (1982) included minor improvements to support virtual memory and virtualization.
