GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W741C250 is a high-performance 4-bit microcontroller (
μ
C) that provides an LCD driver. The
device contains a 4-bit ALU, two 8-bit timers, a divider, a 24
×
4 LCD driver, and five 4-bit I/O ports
(including 1 output port for LED driving). There are also five interrupt sources and 8-level subroutine
nesting for interrupt applications. The W741C250 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 W741C250 is suitable for remote controllers, watches and clocks, multiple I/O products,
keyboard controllers, speech synthesis LSI controllers, and other products.
