SC//MP (Simple Cost-effective MicroProcessor) is a single-chip 8-bit microprocessor packaged in a standard, 40-pin, ceramic dual-in-line package.
N-channel, silicon gate, depletion mode standard process technology ensures high performance, high reliability, and high producibility.
SC//MP is intended for use in general-purpose applications where cost per function is a most significant criterion. But cost efficiency is only a part of SC//MP's story. It goes on to include a variety of useful functions that are not even provided by some of the expensive microprocessors, like self-contained timing circuitry, 16-bit (65k) addressing capability, serial or parallel data-transfercapability and common memory/peripheral instructions. The built-in features in conjunction with the low initial cost describe what SC//MP really is - a microprocessor specifically designed to provide the simplest and most efficient solution to many application requirements.
