Features General Description

• PT8A977P/977W works as encoder and The PTA977P (or 977W) and PT8A978P (or 978LW)
PT8A978P/978LW works as decoder provide a complete control functions to the remote-
• Five pins for five control functions controlled toy. The PT8A977P/977W has five input
• Operating power-supply voltage: 2.5V to 5.0V pins corresponding with the five function buttons i.e,
(977P, 977W, 978P), 2.0V to 5.0V (978LW) forward, backward, rightward, leftward and turbo. The
• Auto-power-off if no press on any button in 8s or encoding circuit in the PT8A977P/977W sends digital
continuously press on any button over 4 minues codes to the two output pins SO and SC. The digital
• Press on any button as wake up (977P, 977W) codes correspond to the definite function buttons or
• Manual-power-off with OFF button their combinations. The SO and SC outputs are used
• One output pin used for external power control (977P, in wireless and infra-red applications respectively.
977W)
The PT8A978P (or 978LW) has five output pins
• On-chip oscillator with an external resistor
corresponding with the five actions. The received
• On-chip reversing amplifiers (978P, 978LW)
signals are amplified by the three-stage amplifier, and
• Low operating current
then the appropriate amplified signals are sampled,
• Few external components needed
fault-tolerantly checked and decoded to control the
• Package: 14-pin DIP, 14-pin SOIC, 16-pin DIP
actions of the remote-controlled toy.
and 16-pin SOIC

There is an internal oscillator in the PT8A977P/977W

Ordering Information and 978P/978LW respectively. By adding an external
Pa r t No. Pa ck a ge resistor conveniently, the oscillator will be
PT8A977P 14-pin DIP constructed. The oscillator frequency can be adjusted
by the external resistor. The relative error between
PT8A977W 14-pin SOIC
the frequencies of the two on-chip oscillators in the
PT8A978P 16-pin DIP
PT8A977P/977W and PT8A978P/978LW must be
PT8A978LW 16-pin SOIC
less than ±25%.

The auto-power-off function is achieved by an internal

counter. The PC output is used to control on/off state
of the external power supply. Pressing OFF button
can also shut down the power supply. Press on any
function button will wake up the chip promptly.
