PRELIMINARY W78C516
8-BIT MICROCONTROLLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W78C516 is a derivative of the W78C52 microcontroller family that provides extended internal
ROM. The chip has 64K bytes of mask ROM and 256 bytes of RAM.
This device provides an enhanced architecture that makes it more powerful and suitable for a variety
of applications for general control systems. It provides on-chip 64KB mask ROM to accommodate
large program codes, 256-bytes of non-volatile on-chip RAM, four 8-bit I/O ports, one 4-bit I/O port,
three 16-bit timer/counters, eight sources with two-level interrupt structures, and on-chip oscillator
clock circuits.
