ELECTRON DEVICE
µPD75238
4 BIT SINGLE-CHIP MICROCOMPUTER
The µPD75238 is a single-chip microcomputer which contains a CPU capable of 1-, 4-, and 8-bit data
processing, ROM, RAM, and I/O ports. In addition, it contains a fluorescent display tube (FIP;) controller/driver,
A/D converter, clock timer, timer/pulse generator capable of 14-bit PWM output, serial interface, and vectored
interrupt function.
In comparison with the µPD75217, the µPD75238 has larger ROM and RAM capacity and has been enhanced
in such peripheral facilities as the display function of the FIP controller/driver, I/O ports, A/D converter, serial
interface.
The µPD75238 finds best use in such applications as timer/tuner of VCRs from advanced type to common
type, configuration of one-chip system control microcomputer, advanced CD player, advanced microwave
ovens, etc.
With the µPD75238, the µPD75P238, which is a PROM product, and various development tools including
IE-75001-R and assemblers are available. They can be used for evaluation during system development and
small-volume production.
