EM73PA88A
4-BIT MICRO-CONTROLLER FOR LCD PRODUCT
10.8.2001
Preliminary
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EM73PA88A is an advanced single chip CMOS 4-bit one-time programming (OTP) micro-controller. It contains
16K-byte ROM, 500-nibble RAM, 4-bit ALU, 13-level subroutine nesting, 22-stage time base, two 12-bit timer/
counters for the kernel function. EM73PA88A also equipped with 6 interrupt sources, 3 I/O ports (including 1
input port and 2 bidirection ports), LCD display (64x16), built-in sound generator and speech synthesizer can direct
drive speaker.
It's low power consumption and high speed feature are further strengten with DUAL, SLOW, IDLE and STOP
operation mode for optimized power saving.
FEATURES
