(with series resistor)
• Auto power-off if no key pressed (PT8A9701P)
• Motor current limit to meet toy safety standard
HD271 (PT8A974P/974LP)
• Low operating current
• On-chip oscillator with an external resistor
• On-chip reversing amplifiers
• Built-in 3.7V Zener (Vz) (PT8A974P) and 3.1V
Zener (Vz) (PT8A974LP)
• Few external components needed
General Description
The PT8A9701P and PT8A974P/974LP is a pair of
CMOS LSIs designed for remote controlled toy car
application. They have eight control keys for
controlling the corresponding motion, i.e., forward,
backward, left, right, turbo and 3 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 PT8A974P/974LP sends out a 60Hz
signal. In operation with ‘Forward (Backward)’ and ‘Turbo’
combined, the output signal will be completely high. This func-
tion is depicted in Table 3.
Coding Method
Each trigger pin is triggered by corresponding bit of data in
format of “1”. The data string is 16-bit and divided to four
segments, i.e., Start Code, Data Code, Parity Code and End
code, where
Start Code = 11110.
Data Code = F B T R L F1 F3 F4 F2
F = Forward
R = Right
F2 = Function 2
B = Backward
L = Left
F3 = Function 3
T = Turbo
F1= Function 1
F4 = Function4
Timing Diagram
Data Format
See Figure 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 and R&L.
