General Description
The PT8A977B and PT8A978B (or 978BL) provide
complete control functions to the remote-controlled
toy. The PT8A977B has five input pins corresponding
with the five function buttons i.e, forward, backward,
rightward, leftward and turbo. The encoding circuit
in the PT8A977B sends digital codes to the two output
pins SO and SC. The digital codes correspond to the
definite function buttons or their combinations. The
SO and SC outputs are used in wireless and infra-red
applications respectively.
The PT8A978B (or 978BL) has five output pins
corresponding with the five actions. The received
signals are amplified by the three-stage amplifier, and
then the appropriate amplified signals are sampled,
fault-tolerantly checked and decoded to control the
actions of the remote-controlled toy.

Die Form
There is an internal oscillator in the PT8A977B and
978B/978BL respectively. By adding an external
resistor conveniently, the oscillator will be
constructed. The oscillator frequency can be adjusted
by the external resistor. The relative error between
the frequencies of the two on-chip oscillators in the
PT8A977B and PT8A978B/978BL 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.
