It is suitable for: - aP23682 aP23341 aP23170 aP23085 ( 682 sec, 4 I/O chip) – DIP16 ( 341 sec, 4 I/O chip) – DIP16 ( 170 sec, 4 I/O chip) – DIP16 ( 085 sec, 4 I/O chip) – DIP16 This development system serves two main functions: Compiler – to created a dp2 file from user’s Voice files Writer – to program the dp2 file into the aP23xx chip The Compiler is used to combine the edited voice files into the chip to form the desired Voice Group and to define the playback functions of each Voice Group by selecting different Options and Trigger Modes of each individual Voice Group. The Writer is used to program the voice data into the aP23xx devices that resulted from the Compiler Function. A Writer Board connected to the PC via USB port is required.

Select your required IC body. 2. Loading your programming file. ( xxx.dp2 ) 3. Check IC body is blank. 4. Execute programming. 5. Verify the data of your programming. 6. Select if you need security mechanism. *** (can’t be copied; If do this, it can not be verified and can not be Master IC) 7. Show the conditions of executing 1,2,3,4,5,6. 8. Show the progress of “blank check”, “program” or “verify”. Page 5 of 13 5/20/2015 Integrated Circuits Inc. aP23KW16D - USB Writer User Guide Example for Compiler : a. Select the IC body is aP89341K. b. Select Key mode to be our trigger mode. c. Select the voice output is PWM. d. Click Add-Wav to pick your required folder. e. After confirming the folder, click the button. f. All wav files in the folder will be listed here. Page 6 of 13 5/20/2015 Integrated Circuits Inc. aP23KW16D - USB Writer User Guide g. If wave file is too big, we can choose compressing files to decrease their sizes. ( UALW compress wave file to 8bits, PCM8 compress wave file to 8bits, ADPCM compress wave file to 4bits ) *** Please note if your original voice is 16bit wav file which need to be compressed to 8 bit, we suggest you choose ULAW would be better. h. Show all your required .wav files. Double click .wav files you required in f, they will be showed in h. i. It will show the memory size you has been used. ( Please note the data size you loaded can’t exceed the body’s memory ) ***Please note the data size you loaded can’t exceed the body’s memory. If so, there are some ways to solve this problem : 1).Change it to a bigger memory size body. ex: aP89341K to aP89682K 2).Compressed the wav files to decrease the memory size. ex: from PCM16 to PCM8. 3).Delete some required voice files. j. Select the signal timing. ( 16ms or 65us ) k. When power on, immediately play SW0 one time. l. Set volume control function.( if not select means do not need to use the volume level control function) m. Volume Warp : Volume level increase to the max then begin from the level 1. *Select disable : When volume is adjusted to the top, use M1 to decrease the volume. When volume is adjusted to the ground, use M0 to increase the volume *Select enable : When volume is adjusted to the top, it will restart from level 1. When volume is adjusted to the ground, it will restart from level 16. Page 7 of 13 5/20/2015 Integrated Circuits Inc. aP23KW16D - USB Writer User Guide n. Select 16 level volume control.
