Description

The APE0504 series are very low cost voice and melody synthesizer with 4-bits CPU. They have various features including 4-bits ALU, ROM, RAM, I/O ports, timers, clock generator, voice and melody synthesizer, and PWM (Direct drive) output, etc. The audio synthesizer contains one voice-channel and two melody-channels. Furthermore, they consist of 27 instructions in these devices. With CMOS technology and halt function can minimize power dissipation. Their architectures are similar to RISC, with two stages of instruction pipeline. APE0504 allow all instructions to be executed in a single cycle, except for program branches and data table read instructions (which need two instruction cycles).
