GENERAL DESCRIPTION
IS22C012 is a high quality voice synthesizer capable of
varyingplaybackduration. AproprietaryADPCMalgorithm
is used. The audio message is stored in a 256K bits on-
chip EPROM which can store up to ten seconds of voice
data at 6 KHz sample rate.
Group of sections
The voice data memory area of the IS22C012 can be
subdivided into 124 sections. Any combination of these
sections will form an individual group for data playback. A
maximum of eight groups are available with activation
controlled by S1 to S4 pins. The SBT pin can be used to
trigger multiple groups playback in sequence.
TheIS22C012eliminatestheneedofcomplicatedcircuitry

the fundamental voice building blocks for arranging
playback without limiting sequencing. This provides
flexibility and allows data to be re-used, beneficial for
applications with many repeated sounds or words.

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