COP (Co-Processor) is a 65c816 instruction designed to run a co-processor command. The byte following the opcode is called the signature byte and is required by assemblers:

  • Signature bytes of 00h to 7Fh can be programmer-defined
  • Signature bytes of 80h to FFh are reserved for future microprocessors by the Western Design Center[3]

The state of the interrupt disable flag has no effect on the behavior of COP.

COP triggers a software interrupt and control is routed to the COP handler, whose address is stored in the COP vector at $FFF4. COP could be used to communicate with a floating point coprocessor, for example.

The PBR is cleared, but in native mode its previous value is pushed to the stack.
