General Description
The PT8A990P/991P is a pair of CMOS LSIs designed
for remote controlled toy car application. They have nine
control keys for controlling the corresponding motion (i.e.
forward, backward, left, right, turbo and 4 functional keys)
of the remote controlled car. They also have ‘Forward
(Backward)’ and ‘Turbo’ combination application.

Functional Description
In normal operation without ‘Turbo’, forward (backward) out-
put pin of the decoder PT8A991P sends out a 60Hz signal. In
operation with ‘Forward (Backward)’ and ‘Turbo’ combined,
the output signal will be completely high. This function is de-
picted as follows.
Once a key is pressed, the PT8A990P is powered on, and the
PC output pin keeps on a high level. If no key pressed, The
PT8A990P will shut off automatically in 2s and nothing is
output on the PC pin. It can save battery power by shutting
down the device after pressing on any key for 4 minutes. The
PC pin is used to control on/off of the external power supply.
The PT8A991P has Auto Power Down feature when no signal
received within 5 minutes. The VT pins are used for Current
Limit Protection to meet HD271 Toys safety standard. There
are two over- current-protection pins in PT8A991P. If the in-
put voltage is over 0.095V
CC
for 3 seconds, the output level
will be off. The LRTD/VT2 is optional.
Data Format
See Figure 4.
Coding Method
Each trigger pin is triggered by corresponding bit of data in
format of “1”. The data string is 18-bit and divided to four
segments, i.e., Start Code, Data Code, Parity Code and End
code, where
Start Code = 11110.
Data Code = F3 F4 F B T R L F1 N1 N2 F2
F = Forward
R = Right
F2 = Function 2
B = Backward
L = Left
F3 = Function 3
N1, N2 = Reserved
T = Turbo
F1= Function 1
F4 = Function 4
Parity Code = Even parity check result
End Code is for data latch.
Data code can be any combination of F, B, T, R, L, F1, F2, F3
and F4 except F&B, R&L, N1 and N2.
