CHIP-8 includes a real time clock, random number

generator, decimal conversion, and digit or graphic

display capability. It only uses 512 bytes of RAM leaving

over 1024 bytes for programs in a 2048-byte system.

(You can get an additional 2048 bytes of RAM by

plugging four more RAM chips into your card.)

With the aid of the User Manual for the CDPI802

COSMAC Microprocessor, MPM-201, you can explore

the fascinating world of machine language programming.

You can even combine, machine language programs with

CHIP-8 programs or develop your own interpretive

languages.

For hardware hackers, COSMAC VIP provides

complete external interface capabilities. Some

suggestions for inexpensive external devices and

applications are listed in Section VI. Logic diagrams,

data sheets, trouble -shooting hints, and test programs are

provided so that you can explore the hardware in as much

detail as you want.

This manual assumes that you are familiar with

computer basics from reading one or more of the

excellent magazines devoted to home computing. You

should understand RAM, ROM, memory addressing,

instructions, bytes, etc. The use of a scope

RCA COSMAC VIP Instruction Manual

will facilitate setting up the cassette system and iden-

tifying hardware problems in the rare case where they

occur. Hex notation is used in this manual unless noted

otherwise. (One byte equals two hex digits.)

The Power Supply

The output wires of the internally regulated power

converter supplied with the COSMAC VIP CDP18S711

are connected to the +V DC and GND pads at the back

left comer of the PC card. The power converter output is

reg5 V DC at 600 mA. If you wish to add more

RAM to your system, however, you may need a

higher-current power supply. A 2048-byte system

requires about 350 mA (600 mA worst case). A

4096-byte system should require average current of

about 600 mA. If, however, your RAM chips require

above average power, you may need to supply as much

as 900 mA at 5 V DC, regulated. You can also use your

own unregulated 8 to 10 V DC power supply by adding

voltage regulator U28 (plus heatsink) to your COSMAC

VIP card and cutting the printed circuit link called LKI.

Never apply more than +5 V DC to the card unless the

U28 regulator has been added and link LKI cut.

operation. Cable on the upper left goes to the power converter.
