SNC542
Two Channel Direct Drive Speech Controller
1
INTRODUCTION
SNC542 is a two-channel voice synthesizer IC with PWM direct drive circuit. It
built-in a 4-bit tiny controller with one 4-bit input port and two 4-bit I/O ports. By
programming through the tiny controller in SNC542, user’s varied applications
including voice section combination, key trigger arrangement, output control, and
other logic functions can be easily implemented.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
5.1. Oscillator
SNC542 accept RC type oscillator for system clock. The typical circuit diagram for
oscillator is listed as follow.

5.2. ROM
SNC542 contains substantial 52K words (10-bit) internal ROM. Program, voices and
other data are shared with this same 52K words ROM.
5.3. RAM
SNC542 contains 128 nibbles RAM. The 128 nibbles RAM are divided into eight
pages (page 0 to page 7, 16 nibble RAM on each page). In our programming
structure, users can easily define and locate RAM page in the program. For instance,
users can use the instructions, PAGEn (n=0 to 7) to switch and indicate the RAM page.
Besides, users can use direct mode, M0 ~ M15 in the data transfer type instructions, to
access all 16 nibbles of each page.
5.4. Power Down Mode
“End” instruction will power down SNC542 and enable IC to consume fewer current for
power saving. (<3uA @VDD=3V and <5uA @VDD=5V) Please be aware that when
the power down mode is activated in SNC542, any valid data transition (L H or H L)
occurring on any input port (P1) or IO ports (P2 and P3) will lead SNC542 back to
normal operation mode.
5.5. Sampling Rate Counters
2 independent sampling rate counters are dedicated to 2 individual voice channels to
be able to play diverse voices at different sample playing rates. The playing rate can
be adaptively set up among from the wide ranges of 2.5KHz to 20KHz. This feature
makes voice close to its original source and yield the better voice quality.

5.6. I/O Ports
P1 is a 4-bit input port and P2/P3 are two 4-bit I/O ports. Any bit of P2 and P3 can
be programmed as either input or output port individually. Any valid data transition
(H L or L H) of P1, P2 and P3 can reactivate the chip when the chip is in
power-down mode.

5.7. IR Function
P33 can be modulated with 38.5KHz square wave before sent out to P33 pin. The IR
signal can be achieved by this modulated signal.

5.8. DAC & PWM
SNC542 is an advanced chip to be designed having two optimal methods to play out
the voices. One is DAC and the other is PWM. Upon user’s applications, user can
select either DAC or PWM in his design. Please be aware that only one method can
be activated at a time.
DAC:
A 7-bit current type digital-to-analog converter is built-in SNC542. The
relationship between input digital data and output analog current signal is listed
in the following table. Also, the recommended application circuit is illustrated as
follows.
