GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The W741L250 is a high-performance 4-bit microcontroller (mC) 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 high sink current). There are also five interrupt sources and 8-level subroutine nesting for interrupt applications. The W741L250 operates on very low voltage and very low current and has two power reduction modes, hold mode and stop mode, which help to minimize power dissipation.

FEATURES
