Texas Instruments TMC0541

Features

With the TMC05xx building blocks Texas Instruments created a novel architecture for scalable scientific calculators. The architecture uses minimum a 2 chip design with the Arithmetic chip TMC0501E and the SCOM (scanning read only memory) but was expandable to a maximum of 8 SCOM's, additional RAM as program memory for programmable calculators, additional RAM for general purpose registers and even a chip driving a printer. 

The TMC0541 Constant Read Only Memory CROM consists of 5k*8 preprogrammed program steps and is contained in the interchangable library module of TI-58 and TI-59. Texas Instruments introduced a total of 13 different modules named TMC0541 to TMC0553. Find a list of the modules here. Third party companies added some dozens of different modules, they could be identified with the name TMC0540 and a customer specific ROM code. 

If you own any third party module, write me a short notice. I like to collect the ROM codes for this datasheet. Thanks in advance, Joerg.
