IS22C012

IS22C012 is a high quality voice synthesizer capable of varying playback duration. A proprietary ADPCM algorithm is used. The audio message is stored in a 256K bits onchip EPROM which can store up to ten seconds of voice data at 6 KHz sample rate.

The IS22C012 eliminates the need of complicated circuitry in voice playback but still achieves high voice quality. Sounds such as human speech, animal sounds, musical sounds and even special sound effects can be synthesized. Versatile combinations in sections achieve longer playback duration. In addition, devices can be cascaded to achieve longer voice duration. Two devices can be configured in parallel in order to achieve signal mixing without an external mixer in which speech can be mixed with background music each from one of two different chips.

The IS22C012 provides wide operating voltage range from 2.4V to 6.0V. PWM digital amplifier output pins, V_OUT1 and V_OUT2 provides direct drive to buzzer or speaker.

A current output pin, C_OUT, enables the device to drive a speaker through a low cost NPN transistor. No complex  filtering or amplifier circuit is needed. An automatic rampdown function eliminates undesired noise at the end of playback.
