GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W741C240 is a high-performance 4-bit microcontroller (
μ
C) that provides an LCD driver. The
device contains a 4-bit ALU, a 8-bit timers, a divider, a 24
×
4 LCD driver, and three 4-bit I/O ports.
There are also three interrupt sources and 8-level subroutine nesting for interrupt applications. The
W741C240 operates on low voltage and very low current and has two power reduction modes, hold
mode and stop mode, which help to minimize power dissipation.
The W741C240 is suitable for caculators, simple watches and clocks, multiple I/O products, keyboard
controllers, speech synthesis LSI controllers, and other products.
FEATURES
Operating voltage: 2.4V to 3.6V (LCD drive voltage: 3.0V or 4.5V)
Crystal/RC oscillation circuit selectable by code option for system clock
Crystal oscillator: 32.768 KHz only
RC oscillator: 1 MHz (maximum)
High-frequency (400 KHz to 1 MHz) or low-frequency (below 400 KHz) oscillation option must
be determined by the code option.
In RC mode, attention must be paid to the high/low frequency oscillation option, because the
LCD driver frequency is related to this option.
