<p>The <b>6507</b> (typically "<i>sixty-five-oh-seven</i>" or "<i>six-five-oh-seven</i>") is an 8-bit <a href="Microprocessor" title="Microprocessor">microprocessor</a> from <a href="MOS_Technology" title="MOS Technology">MOS Technology, Inc.</a> It is a version of their 40-pin <a href="MOS_Technology_6502" title="MOS Technology 6502">6502</a> packaged in a 28-pin <a href="Dual_inline_package" class="mw-redirect" title="Dual inline package">DIP</a>, making it cheaper to package and integrate in systems.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The reduction in pin count is achieved by reducing the <a href="Address_bus" class="mw-redirect" title="Address bus">address bus</a> from 16 bits to 13 (limiting the available memory range from 64<span class="nowrap">&nbsp;</span><a href="Kilobyte" title="Kilobyte">KB</a> to 8<span class="nowrap">&nbsp;</span>KB) and removing a number of other pins used only for certain applications.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>To do this, A15 to A13 and some other signals such as the interrupt lines are not accessible. As a result, it can only address 8<span class="nowrap">&nbsp;</span>KB of memory, which for some applications at the time (1975) was acceptable and not overly restrictive. The entire 6500 CPU family was originally conceived as a line of very low-cost microprocessors for small-scale embedded systems.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The 6507 and 6502 chips use the same underlying silicon layers, and differ only in the final metallisation layer. This ties the interrupt lines to their inactive level so they are not vulnerable to generating spurious interrupts from noise. The first three digits of the chip identifier are part of the silicon layers, and the final digit is in the metallisation layer. Micro-photography of the 6502 and 6507 shows this difference.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

Its use in new designs ceased at that point, though the Atari 2600 that contains it continued to be sold into the early 1990s, as it was not discontinued until January 1, 1992. However, late-model Atari 2600 consoles do not necessarily contain a discrete 6507 chip.

<p>The 6507 uses a 28-pin configuration, with 13 address pins (A0..A12) and 8 data pins (D0..D7). The seven remaining pins are used for power (Vss, Vcc), the <a href="Clock_signal" title="Clock signal">CPU timing clock</a> (φ0, φ2), to reset the CPU (the /RES pin), to request a CPU wait state during its next memory read access (the RDY pin), and for the CPU to indicate if a read or write memory (or <a href="Memory-mapped_I/O" class="mw-redirect" title="Memory-mapped I/O">MMIO</a> device) access is being performed (the R/W pin). There is no <a href="Interrupt_request_(PC_architecture)" class="mw-redirect" title="Interrupt request (PC architecture)">IRQ</a> or <a href="Non-maskable_interrupt" title="Non-maskable interrupt">NMI</a> pin on the processor.
</p><p>The RDY pin is not included on all other 28-pin cut-down versions of the 6502. Within the Atari 2600, RDY is used to synchronise the CPU to the television video lines. This function is essential for the 'racing the beam' method used by the 6502 and Atari <a href="Television_Interface_Adaptor" title="Television Interface Adaptor">Television Interface Adaptor</a> chip to generate the television video signal.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In response to a specific address access, the TIA will assert RDY to halt the CPU until the end of the current video scan line.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
