SNC10A
One Channel Direct Drive Speech Controller
1
INTRODUCTION
SNC10A is a one-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 I/O ports. By programming
through the tiny controller in SNC10A, 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
SNC10A accepts RC type oscillator for system clock. The typical circuit diagram for
oscillator is listed as follows.

5.2. ROM
SNC10A contains substantial 216K word (10-bit) internal ROM. Program, voices and
other data are shared with this same 216K word ROM.
5.3. RAM
SNC10A contains 64 nibble RAM. The 64 nibble RAM is divided into four pages (page
0 to page 3, 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 3) 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 SNC10A 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 SNC10A, any valid data transition (L H or H L)
occurring on any input port (P1) or IO ports (P2 and P3) will lead SNC10A back to
normal operation mode.
5.5. Sampling Rate Counter
The unique sampling rate counter is designed in voice channel 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 and 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. DAC & PWM
SNC10A 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 SNC10A. 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.
