D6455A/B
EASYTAD Chip for an all Digital Telephone Answering Device with
Super Low Rate Coder and True FULL Duplex SpeakerPhone
General Description
The D6455A/B chip is a digital speech/signal processing subsystem that implements all functions of TRUESPEECH
speech compression and voice prompts, telephone line signal processing, flash memory management and True FULL
Duplex SpeakerPhone for an all digital answering machine. The D6455A/B is fully controlled by the system Host
through a simple interface protocol. The Host controller provides activation and control of all system functions such as
