The '''NEC μPD707''' and the '''NEC μPD708''' ('''μPD707/8''') is a 2-chip [[4-bit architecture|4-bit]] [[microcontroller]] developed by [[NEC]] in December of 1971, just a month after the {{intel|4004|Intel 4004}}. The 4004 served an inspiration for NEC which went on to combine the μPD707 and μPD708 into a single chip which came to be known as the {{nec|μPD751}}.

==History==
 
In early 1970 Nippon Coca-Cola Japan set out to increase the efficiency at their sale points by introducing new [[POS terminal]]s. [[Sharp]] was assigned the job of making those terminals - codename ''BillPet''. [[Sharp]] ended up commissioning [[NEC]] to design the chip. The chips, named μPD707/8, was designed by a small group of five engineers at [[NEC]]. The chipset was complete in December of 1971. The chips began full production in March of 1972.
 
 
After hearing about the {{intel|4004|Intel 4004}}, NEC later combined the two chips in the {{nec|μPD751}} - the first Japanese single-chip microprocessor.
