The HIP7038A8 HCMOS Microcomputer is an EEPROM version of the HIP7030A family of low-cost single-chip J1850 microcontrollers. These microcontrollers provide the system designer with a complete set of building blocks for implementing a "Class B" VPW multiplexed communications network interface, which fully complies with SAE Recommended Practice J1850. The HIP7038A8 contains all hardware and software features of the HIP7030A2/A8 microcontrollers with equivalent timing, performance characteristics, and an identical footprint.
