SNC579
Two Channel Direct Drive Speech Controller
1 INTRODUCTION
SNC579 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, two 4-bit output ports and three
4-bit I/O ports. By programming through the tiny controller in SNC579, user's varied
applications including voice section combination, key trigger arrangement, output
control, and other logic functions can be easily implemented.

5 FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
5.1. Oscillator
SNC579 accept RC type oscillator for system clock. The typical circuit diagram for
oscillator is listed as follow.

5.2. ROM
SNC579 contains substantial 132K words (10-bit) internal ROM. Program, voices and
other data are shared with this same 132K words ROM.
5.3. RAM
SNC579 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 SNC579 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 SNC579, any valid data transition (L H or H L)
occurring on any input port (P1) or IO ports (P2, P3 and P6) will lead SNC579 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, P2/P3/P6 are three 4-bit I/O ports and P4/P5 are two 4-bit
output ports. Any bit of P2, P3 and P6 can be programmed as either input or output
port individually. Any valid data transition (H L or L H) of P1, P2, P3 and P6
can reactivate the chip when the chip is in power-down mode.

5.8. DAC & PWM
SNC579 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 SNC579. 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.
