Just was trying to get the working of a game PCB, and it has 2 chips.
One is a NEC D553C, a 42 pin DIP chip, probably a microcontroller,
The other is a NEC D1771 C011, a 28 pin DIP. Maybe it is a microcontroller too, but it seems to drive the speakers.
Anybody who has some info on these, or know a relevant family they belong too?
-
1 is a pia
is the processer a 8080 ? or such family ?

What is a Pia?
No 8080 family. The D553C must be a 4 bit microcontroller, with RAM, ROM and high-voltage (+/- 45V) output to drive a VFD display.

peripheral interface adpater
common front end for a micro
if the nec 553-xx is the olny 48 pin chip ? on that board
then it might be the micro with ram/flash
i suggest u dig deeper
a pic will tell a story here
as nec is very very quiet about what how where when why with there chip's

Found that page too. But no specsheet there. Maybe I can mail them if they have any info.
Or I can go to the Tech University and dig up some fungus-books in a paper library :)

nec dose not hand out there spec's
expect to state what it is
u cannot yank it out of them
and the reason is easy
they lock into a :nda: with the board mfg

NEC is telling everything about their 2-year later model the 7528. Doubt there is no similar sheet for the 553
