Application Perspectives
3. Tone Generator + LCD (H8/3877 Series)
Features
Hitachi, Ltd. provides the H8/3877 Series as microcomputers that include on-chip high
precision dual tone multi frequency (DTMF) and multi-tone generator circuits. The H8/3877
Series microcomputers include 40 kbytes to 60 kbytes of ROM and a 2-kbyte large capacity
RAM on chip.
The DTMF generator circuit provides high precision DTMF signal output and the multi-tone
generator circuit provides arbitrary tone outputs at arbitrary frequencies.
These microcomputers provide on-chip an LCD controller/driver (52 segment lines ×
4 common lines), three types of timers, two serial communication interface (SCI) channels,
and an 8-channel A/D converter as additional peripheral functions.
Furthermore, these microcomputers support low voltage operation (2.7 V) and a rich set of low
power modes including microcomputer operation from a 32 kHz subclock making these
products optimal for applications which require backup operation during power outages or
battery operation.
