EM73469A

4-BIT MICRO-CONTROLLER FOR LCD PRODUCT

1.9.2001

Preliminary

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

EM73469A is an advanced single chip CMOS 4-bit micro-controller. It contains 4K-byte ROM, 244-nibble RAM,

4-bit ALU, 13-level subroutine nesting, 22-stage time base, two 12-bit timer/counters for the kernel function.

EM73469A also contains 6 interrupt sources, 1 input port, 2 bidirection ports, LCD display (32x4), and one high

speed timer/counter with melody output.

EM73469A has plentiful operating modes (SLOW, IDLE, STOP) intended to reduce the power consumption.

FEATURES

• Operation voltage

: 1.2V to 1.8V.

• Clock source

: Dual clock system. Low-frequency oscillator is Crystal or RC oscillator (32K Hz,

connect an external resistor) by mask option and high-frequency oscillator is RC

oscillator (connect an external resistor).

• Instruction set

: 109 powerful instructions.

• Instruction cycle time : Up to 2us for 4 MHz (high speed clock).

122 µs or 244µs by frequency double mask option for 32768 Hz (low speed clock).

• ROM capacity

: 4096 X 8 bits.

• RAM capacity

: 244 X 4 bits.

• Input port

: 1 port (P0). P0(0..3) and IDLE releasing function are available by mask option.

• Bidirection port

: 2 ports (P4, P8). P4.0 and SOUND is available by mask option. P4.1 is shared with

HTC external input. P8(0..3) and IDLE releasing function are available by mask

option.

• 12-bit timer/counter

: Two 12-bit timer/counters are programmable for timer, event counter and pulse width

measurement.

• High speed timer/counter : One 8-bit high speed timer/counters is programmable for auto load timer, melody

output and pulse width measurement.

• Built-in time base counter : 22 stages.

• Subroutine nesting

: Up to 13 levels.

• Interrupt

: External . . . . . 2 input interrupt sources.

Internal . . . . . . 2 Timer overflow interrupts, 1 time base interrupt.

1 high speed timer overflow interrupt.

• LCD driver

: 32 X 4 dots, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 static six kinds of duty selectable, 1/2 bias, 1/3 bias.

• Power saving function : SLOW, IDLE, STOP operation mode.

• Package type

: Chip form

61 pins.

APPLICATIONS

EM73469A is suitable for application in family applicance, consumer products, hand held games and the toy

controller.
