MCU digital and audio/signalling functions as shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3: Controller Block Diagram
2.4.1 MCU Digital
The digital portion of the controller consists of a microcontroller and associated EEPROM, RAM, and
ROM memories. Combinations of different size RAM and ROM are available to support various
application software. RAM supports 8KB and 32KB sizes. ROM supports 128KB, 256KB, and 512KB
sizes. Table 2-3 lists the ROM, RAM and EEPROM requirements for different radios.
