General Description
APU428 is an embedded high-performance 4-bit
microcomputer with an LCD/LED driver. It contains
all the necessary functions in a single chip: 4-bit
parallel processing ALU, ROM, RAM, I/O ports, timer,
clock generator, dual clock, ADC, RFC, alarm,
EL-light, LCD driver, look-up table and watchdog
timer. The instruction set consists of 148 instructions
which include nibble operation, manipulation,
various conditional branch instructions and LCD
data transfer instructions which are powerful and
easy to follow.
The HALT function stops any internal operations other
than the oscillator, divider and LCD driver in order to
minimize the power dissipation.
The stop function stops all clocks in the chip.
