Micromaster Incorporates All CPU Supervisor Functions in a Single 8-Pin Device.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 1996--TelCom Semiconductor, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :TLCM TLCM Through-Life Capability Management TLCM Tivoli Licensing Compliance Manager (IBM) TLCM Tivoli License Compliance Manager TLCM Top Load Configurable Monopole (antenna) ) today announced the latest addition to its family of system management products, the TC70/71 Micromaster. The TC70/71 provides the industry's highest level of functional integration in a processor supervisor in a single 8-pin PDIP (Plastic DIP) See DIP. or SOIC (Small Outline IC) A small-dimension, plastic, rectangular, surface mount chip package that uses gull-wing pins extending outward. See gull-wing lead, SOJ and chip package. package. Combining the functions necessary to ensure stable processor operation together with additional system functions such as battery backup for static RAM or real-time clocks, the TC70/71 are the most cost effective, highly integrated processor supervisors yet. Historically, the functional content of processor supervisors have been limited only by their package size. The TC70/71 uses a unique scheme to merge one output and two outputs into a single pin, resulting in a level of integration not previously possible in an 8-pin package. It contains traditional CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. monitoring functions consisting of a precision supply monitor, /RESET generator, watchdog timer, manual reset override and power fail comparator comparator Instrument for comparing something with a similar thing or with a standard measure, in particular to measure small displacements in mechanical devices. In astronomy, the blink comparator is used to examine photographic plates for signs of moving bodies. . The watchdog timer is available with a disable input to facilitate user system testing. In addition, the TC70/71 incorporates battery backup circuitry consisting of a battery switchover switch·o·ver n. A complete shift, as from one system to another. circuit and a gated chip enable or power fail output. The TC70/71 are ideal for applications which require a fully-integrated processor supervisor such as battery-powered computers and controllers, embedded controllers, and critical microprocessor power monitoring. The TC70/71 are available with an operating temperature range of 0 degrees C to +70 degrees C or -40 degrees C to +85 degrees C. Five thousand piece pricing for the TC70 in an 8-pin PDIP is $1.57 and $1.62, respectively. Five thousand piece pricing for the TC71 in an 8-pin PDIP package is $1.57 and $1.62, respectively.
