The PPS-4 (Parallel Processing System - 4-bit word) was a family of 4-bit microprocessor chips designed by Rockwell International and introduce in 3rd quarter of 1972.

The original PPS-4 chipset was designed to provide complete functionality in three chips - CPU, program memory, and a clock generator. A later version known as the PPS-4/2 ("/2" denoting a two-chip system) eliminated the external clock generator chip by incorporating it internally. A third variation known as the PPS-4/1 ("/1" being a single-chip microcomputer) was actually a microcontroller, including the program memory internally.

2nd source[edit]

National semiconductor later became a second source for the PPS-4.

Applications[edit]

While not as known as the other chips like the MCS-4, the PPS-4 certainly never received as much mainstream exposure. Nevertheless, it did find its way into many industrial and consumer products such as toys, desktop calculators, games, and other electronic appliances.
