The μCOM-42 (or uCOM-42) was family of 4-bit microcontrollers, part of the μCOM-4 extended family, specifically marketed for electronic cash registers (ECRs), Point of Sale (POS), and electronic scale applications. These chips were specifically designed for controlling 8x4 keyboards, 8-digit displays, and various ECR-type printers. The μCOM-42 had a separate, modified instruction set, compared with the rest of the μCOM-4 families.
