TLC156

The TLC156 series is a family of low-cost, high speed, high noise immunity, EPROM/ROM-based 8-bit CMOS microcontrollers. It employs a RISC architecture with only 42 instructions. All instructions are single cycle except for program branches which take two cycles. The easy to use and easy to remember instruction set reduces development time significantly.

The TLC156 series consists of Power-on Reset (POR), Brown-out Reset (BOR), Power-up Reset Timer (PWRT), Oscillator Start-up Timer(OST), Watchdog Timer, EPROM/ROM, SRAM, tri-state I/O port, I/O pull-high/open-drain/pull-down control, Power saving SLEEP mode, real time programmable clock/counter,
Interrupt, Wake-up from SLEEP mode, and Code Protection for EPROM products. There are four oscillator configurations to choose from, including the power-saving LP (Low Power) oscillator and cost saving RC oscillator.

The TLC154 and TLC155 address 512×13 of program memory, the TLC156 address 1K×13 of program memory, and the TLC157 address 2K×13 of program memory.

The TLC156 can directly or indirectly address its register files and data memory. All special function registers including the program counter are mapped in the data memory.
