GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IS22C020 is a high-quality voice synthesizer
with capacity from 16 to 20 seconds. A proprietary
ADPCM algorithm is used. The audio message is
stored in a 512K bit on-chip one-time programmable
memory.
TheIS22C020provideswidevoltageoperatingrange
from 2.4V to 6.0V. A pair of PWM output pins, VOUT1
and VOUT2, provide direct drive to a buzzer. Voice
quality is comparable to a speaker output and power
consumption is much lower. This facilitates button
battery applications such as greeting cards.
The IS22C020 eliminates the need for complicated
circuitryinvoiceplaybackbutstillachieveshighvoice
quality. Sounds such as human speech, animal
sounds, musical sounds, and even special effects
can be synthesized. Devices can be cascaded to
achieve longer voice duration. Two devices can be
configured in parallel in order to achieve signal mix-

A current output pin, COUT, enables the device to
driveaspeakerthroughalowcostNPNtransistor.No
complex filtering or amplifier circuit is needed. An
automatic ramp-up and ramp-down function elimi-
nates undesired noise at the beginning and end of
playback.
Up to eight sections are available and accessible
through the S1 to S4 trigger pins. The SBT trigger pin
can be programmed to playback all eight sections or
sequentially from section 1 to 8. An interrupt pin
(IRP), stop pulse (STP) or BUSY signals provide
handshaking with µP or other IS22C020 devices. All
trigger pins give 15 ms debounce time and are ideal
for CDS applications. Two LED drivers are available,
flashing on and off approximately at 3 Hz. The inter-
nal voltage compensated oscillator requires only one
external resistor. Different sampling frequencies are
determined by the external oscillator resistor value.
The instant programming nature of the IS22C020
gives a very short turn around time free of NRE
charges usually required with conventional voice
ROMs. Usersnowcanaddavoicesynthesisfunction
as an additional feature to their products even when
production volume is small. As a result, initial invest-
ment is minimal and the risk in the product develop-
ment phase is reduced.
