For a hobby project (proof of concept that Z80 code can be recompiled into any other machine code by a smart software) I am looking for a recommendation for a microcontroller. I have worked with PICs before and even squeezed a video signal out of them, but I need a little bit more power this time:
Requirements:
- RAM 1k
- ROM 6k, better 8k (the original ROM is 4k with not a single byte left)
- Must be able to pump pixels out at about 5MHz, maybe less if using a shifting register
- small footprint. I really need only 3 io pins: IR in, video out, sync out. So ideally, an 8pin SMD case would work.
Any recomendations are appreciated.
