The SM1155 series are CMOS melody LSIs that, together with a battery and piezoelectric buzzer, operate in
one of 3 melody modes determined by bonding options. They also feature an oscillator stop function in non-
play mode and a variable pull-down resistance function that responds to input levels in order to reduce power
consumption, reduce cost, and extend battery life, making them ideal in a wide range of applications including
the hold sound for telephones and toys.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Melody Modes
When TG goes HIGH (V
DD
), melody play starts.
Level hold 1 (SM1155×××1S)
When TG goes HIGH, melody play starts and continues while TG is held HIGH. When TG goes open circuit or
LOW, melody play stops, even if during mid melody.

Power-save Function
As shown in the preceding timing diagrams, the oscillator stops during non-play mode and the pull-down resis-
tance value changes in response to both HIGH-level and LOW-level inputs (power-save pull-down resistor) to
reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
Non-play oscillator stop function
When melody play ends, regardless of the state of TG, the internal oscillator stops and is placed in a standby
state. In this state, the current consumption, including input pin pull-down resistor current (I
IH
max), does not
exceed 3.3µA.
Power-save pull-down resistor
The resistance of the TG input pull-down resistor changes in response to the input voltage. The pull-down
resistance is 500kΩ when the input is HIGH, and the pull-down resistance is 135kΩ when the input is LOW.
Furthermore, if a light-dependent resistor (CdS) cell is employed as a switch (the pull-down resistance is max-
imum when the CdS resistance is minimum (light) and the pull-down resistance is minimum when the CdS
resistance is maximum (dark)), the combined resistance can be increased, decreasing current consumption.
Musical Specifications
Maximum program steps
A maximum of 64 steps can be programmed into internal mask-programmable ROM. Each step represents
either a note (sound pitch and length), a rest note, or a jump. The maximum number of jumps is 7.
Note length (including rests)
Eight rhythm values, from sixteenth note to half note, for notes and rests can be programmed, as shown in the
following table.

Also, notes and rests longer than half notes and rests can be created using a tie to connect the notes. This
requires 2 program steps in ROM.

The tempo for the standard quarter note can be selected from the following 16 options.
