Nothing wrong with a bit of digression…
BTW, I find find remembering how to spell parallel a bit of a bugger too.
This might help: it has the same para prefix as say, paranormal, so you can use that to remember it has single r. Not sure what you can use to remember the double l comes before the single l, except that maybe the spelling of it seems a bit weird.
I actually don’t need to remember this stuff much anymore, since I swipe on my phone, and the keyboard software takes care of all that…
This is from the datasheet for a Sanyo Digital Clock chip, application notes.
Highly specialised and simple to get to work, using the mains rate of 50Hz or 60Hz as the clocking source.
I once thought about using these chips for other purposes from old clocks we had, after a few attempts gave up. Cannot do anything about the internal chip design.

Hi James46717,
Yes! That’s the image I found on the internet. I wasn’t able to upload it. Maybe because I am using a smartphone.
I agree Kimmo. I find some words intimidating at best. The smartphone is great at fixing my bad spelling. I recon as long as the message gets across who cares…
These clock chips have so much going on inside them. I am impressed with the level of complexity in these early 80’s IC chips. There literally must have been millions made.
It would be interesting to see which IC chips that made companies like Texas Instruments their daily money…
