Datasheet for Signetics spc16/10 ( Single chip Philips P800 processor ) ?

Subject says it all : anyone has datasheets for this obscure single chip Philips P800-type microprocessor ? Cant find anything but a student's report from 1981, and it is not listed in the Signetics databooks of the time ( +/- 1980) ( this is not related to the General Automation SPC16

The 9000 Series 500 is very different from later 9000s. I don’t think there more than one speed of CPU, although there was an early and later CPU with the later CPU having a floating-point unit onboard. What you get out of a 9000 Series 550 over a Series 520 (aka 9020) is mostly more I/O
