Overall system control of the T855 is accomplished by the use of a member of the 80C51
family of microcontrollers (IC810) which runs from internal ROM and RAM. Four ports
are available for input/output functions.
Non-volatile data storage is achieved by serial communication with a 16kBit EEPROM
(IC820). This serial bus is also used by the microcontroller to program the synthesiser
(IC740).
The main tasks of the microcontroller are as follows:
• program the synthesiser;
• interface with the PGM800Win programming software at 9600 baud via the
serial communication lines on D-range 1 (PL100) & D-range 2;
• monitor channel change inputs from D-range 2;
• generate timing waveforms for CTCSS detection;
• coordinate and implement timing control of the receiver.
