Processors and Chips Notes
Capricorn 8 bit CMOS processor used by the -75* and -85*
Nut -41C custom processor
Sacajawea (1LE2) Used in the Voyager series (this may be
a mistake).
-----
Saturn 4 bit CMOS processor used by the -71B
also, the family name for all the rest
levels:
0 original
1 -18C, -28C, few extra instructions
2 48SX and later, yet more instructions
3 48G, 48GX, 48G+, yet more instructions
used in: -71B -18C -28C -17B -19B -27S -28S -22S -32S 14B -42S -10B
-20S -21S 17BII 19BII 48SX 32SII 48S 48G 48GX 48G+ 38G 38G+
Lewis Processor for the the (-)17B*, (-)19B*, -27S,
and -28S (1LT8, CMOSG 3V, 1 MHz, 64K ROM,
-28S uses two of these, one with CPU disabled),
-42S
Used in the High end Pioneer family HP17B/17BII/27S/42S.
The MMU of the Lewis chip is n-island programmable, and every
model use the same MMU programming. The chips differ only in
the 64KB ROM content.
The Lewis chip needs an external RAM (8KB). The international
versions of the HP17B and HP17BII use an additional 32KB ROM
chip.
The HP19B/19BII/28S use two Lewis chips with one external RAM
chip (8KB on 19B / 32KB on 28S).
Clarke Processor for the 48SX and 48S (2 MHz),
1LT8 improved with LCD driver, memory
controller, UART and IR control, 170 pin TAB
package
Yorke Processor for the 48GX and 48G (4 MHz) (Yorke
was the black member of the Lewis and Clarke
expedition), 160-ping quad flatpack. Also used
in the 38G, 38G+, 39G, 40G, and 49G.
Saca 14B, -22S, -32S, 32SII (640 KHz)
Bert -10B, -20S, -21S (640 KHz, 10K ROM, 256 RAM,
display driver), named 1LU7.
Refering to the 1LU7 BERT External reference specification:
"... It's design is highly leveraged from the 1LR3
Sacajawea and 1LR2 Lewis IC. ..."
The 1LR3 Sacajawea and 1LR2 Lewis CPU are indeed very similar
(from the CPU core / IO register / display driver aspect).
Children of the original Saturn chip serve as the processor for all
current HP calculators. These processors are often custom designed
for the calculator they are used in, but it is common to refer to them
all as "having the Saturn architecture."
Marc Staps (marc@knot.nl) reports the following:
Dr. Van Allen (1914-) relied on a HP-9100A and its optional
plotter to study the feasability of using a gravity slingshot
around Jupiter to allow Pioneer 11 to intercept Saturn.
Pioneer 11 was retasked and arrived at Saturn before Voyager 1.
A very nice example of how a codename is created.

82182A Phineas -41C* time module (assumed that the timer
came out with the IL module; also, the
name really is phineas, although I
assume it's named after Phileas Fogg
-- strange, huh? -- Dan Allen)

? Zipper " " " " " "
The HP-41 HP-IL Development Module came to be known as the "Devil"
module in the user clubs, for self-evident reasons.
