HT8A977B/978B

5-Function Remote Controller

Description FEATURES
The HT8A977B and HT8A978B provide  HT8A977B works as encoder and
complete control functions to the HT8A978B works as decoder
remote-controlled toy. The HT8A977B has five  Five pins for five control functions
input pins corresponding with the five function  Operating power-supply voltage: 2.5V to
buttons i.e, forward, backward, rightward, leftward 5.0V (978B), 1.8V to 5.0V(977B)
and turbo. The encoding circuit in the HT8A977B  Auto-power-off and oscillation-off if no press
sends digital codes to the two output pins SO and on any button (977B)
SC. The digital codes correspond to the definite  Press on any button to wake up (977B)
function buttons or their combinations. The SO  One output pin used for external power
and SC outputs are used in wireless and infra-red control (977B)
applications respectively.  On-chip oscillator with an external resistor
 On-chip reversing amplifiers (978B)
The HT8A978B has five output pins
 Low operating current
corresponding with the five actions. The received
 Few external components needed
signals are amplified by the three-stage amplifier,
 Package: 14-pin DIP, 14-pin SOIC, 16-pin
and then the appropriate amplified signals are
DIP, 16-pin SOIC, die form and wafer form
sampled, fault-tolerantly checked and decoded to
control the actions of the remote-controlled toy.
Ordering Information
There is an internal oscillator in the
HT8A977B and 978B respectively. By adding an Part No. Package
external resistor conveniently, the oscillator will be HT8A977BPE Lead free 14-pin DIP
constructed. The oscillator frequency can be HT8A977BWE Lead free 14-pin SOIC
adjusted by the external resistor. The relative HT8A978BPE Lead free16-Pin DIP
error between the frequencies of the two on-chip HT8A978BLWE Lead free 16-pin SOIC
oscillators in the HT8A977B and HT8A978B
must be less than ±25%.

The auto-power-off function is achieved by

an internal counter (977B). The PC output is used
to control on/off state of the external power supply.
Press on any function button will wake up the chip
promptly.
