SNC362
Direct Drive Voice/Dual Tone Melody Controller
1
INTRODUCTION
SNC362 is a 1-channel voice synthesizer and dual-tone melody 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 SNC362, user’s varied
applications including voice section combination, dual-tone melody, key trigger
arrangement, output control, and other logic functions can be easily implemented.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
5.1. Oscillator
SNC362 accept RC type oscillator for system clock. The typical circuit diagram for
oscillator is listed as follow.

RC Oscillator
5.2. ROM
SNC362 contains substantial 96K words (10-bit) internal ROM. Program, voices and
other data are shared with this same 96K words ROM.
5.3. RAM
SNC362 contains 128 nibbles RAM. The 128 nibbles RAM are divided into eight
pages (page 0 to page 7, 16 nibbles 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 SNC362 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 SNC362, any valid data transition (L H or H L)
occurring on any input port (P1) or IO ports (P2 and P3) will lead SNC362 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. Dual-Tone Generator
A dual-tone melody generator is included to generate 2-channel music songs with a
pleasant square-wave-like timbre. The pitch range of each tone generator is as wide
as 4 octaves (48 different notes totally). The output of dual-tone generator can be
mixed with the output of voice synthesizer to achieve voice playing with BGM
(background music). Additionally, Sonix provides a numbered-musical-notation
representation to help users compose their songs. Further, a MIDI (1.0) file translator
can convert MIDI files into Sonix format.
5.7. 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.

5.8. 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.

5.9. DAC & PWM
SNC362 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 SNC362. 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.
