SPL191

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SPL191A2 is an 8-bit CMOS microprocessor containing 704 bytes working RAM, 256K bytes ROM, 12 I/Os, interrupt/wakeup controller, UART for serial communication, and automatic display controller/driver for LCD. It has one PWM driver with two audio channel outputs. Attractive sound effects can easily be generated. Its large ROM area can be used to store both program and audio data (speech duration is approx. 69 seconds at a 7KHz sampling rate using a 4-bit ADPCM). The built-in UART speeds up data transmission between two chips. Furthermore, a SLEEP (power-down) feature is also built-in to reduce power consumption. The SPL191A2 is designed with state-of-the-art technology to fulfill LCD application requirements, especially hand-held products.
