GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W78C438B is a high-performance single-chip CMOS 8-bit microcontroller that is a derivative of
the W78C58 microcontroller family. The W78C438B is functionally compatible with the W78C32,
except that it provides either a 64 KB program/1 MB data memory address or memory-mapped chip
select logic, five general I/O ports, and four external interrupts.
In the W78C32, two I/O ports, Port 1 and Port 3, are available for general-purpose use (Port 3 also
supports alternative functions), and Port 2 and Port 0 are used as the address bus and data bus,
respectively. To enable Port 0 and Port 2 to also be used as general purpose I/O ports, the
W78C438B provides two dedicated address ports (AP5 and AP6) that serve as address output for 64
KB of memory and one address/data port (DP4) that serves as ROM code input and external RAM
data input/output. Unlike the W78C32, this product does not require an external latch device for
multiplexing low byte addresses. The W78C438B also provides four pins (AP7.0
AP7.3) to support
either 64 KB program/1 MB data memory space or memory-mapped chip select logic, one parallel I/O
port (Port 8) without bit addressing mode, and two additional external interrupts (
INT2
,
INT3
) .
The W78C438B is programmed in a manner fully compatible with that used to program the W78C32,
except that the external data RAM is accessed by the "MOVX @Ri" instruction. Address paging is
performed by loading page addresses into the HB (high byte) register, which is not a standard register
in the W78C32, before execution of the "MOVX @Ri" instruction.
