GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The W921E840A/W921C840 is single-chip CMOS 4-bit microcontroller that is subset of W921E880A/W921C880. They features four multi-function timers, one channel DTMF generator, an 8-bit D/A converter circuit, ten interrupt sources, 48-level subroutine nesting, and built in four by one channel comparator circuit. Two power down modes, hold and stop mode, reduce power dissipation. The excellent memory structure, 8K super EPROM in W921E840A and 8K mask ROM in W921C840 for program code and 512 x 4 bit RAM minimize the need for external memory devices.
