ETC SPC21A1

SPC21A1
20KB SOUND CONTROLLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SPC21A1 is a CPU based two-channel speech/melody synthesizer including CMOS 8-bit microprocessor
with 69 instructions, 20K-byte ROM for speech and melody data (Speech is compressed by a 4-bit ADPCM with
approx. 6 sec speech duration @ 7KHz sampling rate) and 64-byte working SRAM.
It includes two
Timer/Counters, 10 Software Selectable I/Os, and one 8-bit current D/A output. For audio processing, melody
and speech can be mixed into one output.
It operates over a wide voltage range of 2.4V - 5.5V and includes
Low Voltage Reset function. The Low Voltage Reset automatically resets when the working voltage is less than
2.2V. In addition, SPC21A1 has a Clock Stop mode for power savings. The power savings mode saves the
RAM contents, but freezes the oscillator, causing all other chip functions to be inoperative. The Max. CPU
clock frequency is
6.0MHz.
It has an Instruction Cycle Rate of 2 clock cycles (min.) – 6 clock cycles (max.).
The SPC21A1 includes, not only the latest technology, but also the full commitment and technical support of
Sunplus.

structure). SPC21A1 is able to perform with 6.0MHz (max.) depending on the application specifications.
ROM AREA
The SPC21A1 provides a 20K-byte ROM that can be defined as the program area, audio data area, or both.
RAM AREA
The SPC21A1 total RAM consists of 64-bytes (including Stack) at locations from $C0 through $FF.

POWER SAVINGS MODE
The SPC21A1 provides a power savings mode (Standby mode) for those applications that require very low
stand-by current.
To enter standby mode, the Wake-Up Register should be enabled and then stop the CPU
clock by writing the STOP CLOCK Register. The CPU will then go to the stand-by mode.
RAM and I/Os will remain in their previous states until being awakened.
source in the SPC21A1.
In such a mode,
Port IOD7-0 is the only wake-up
After the SPC21A1 is awakened, the internal CPU will go to the RESET State (Tw 65536 x T1) and then continue processing the program. Wakeup Reset will not affect RAM or I/Os (FIG.1).

LOW VOLTAGE RESET
The SPC21A1 includes a Low Voltage Reset (LVR) function. Below the minimum power-supply voltage of 2.2V,
the CPU system will become unstable and malfunction.
Low Voltage Reset will reset all functions into the initial
operational (stable) state if the VDD power-supply voltage drops below 2.2V (FIG.2).

TIMER/COUNTER
The SPC21A1 contains two 12-bit timer/counters, TMA and TMB respectively.
TMA can be specified as a
timer or a counter, but TMB can only be used as a timer. In the timer mode, TMA and TMB are re-loaded upcounters. When timer overflows from $0FFF to $0000, the carry signal will make the timer automatically reload
to the user’s pre-set value and be up-counted again. At the same time, the carry signal will generate the INT
signal if the corresponding bit is enabled in the INT ENABLE Register. If TMA is specified as a counter, users
can reset by loading #0 into the counter. After the counter has been activated, the value of the counter can also
be read from the counters at the same time. The read instruction will not affect the value of the counter or reset
it.
Clock source of Timer/Counter can be selected as follows:

SPEECH AND MELODY
Since the SPC21A1 provides a large ROM and wide range of CPU operation speeds, it is most suitable for
speech and melody synthesis.
For speech synthesis, the SPC21A1 can provide NMI for accurate sampling frequency.
Users can record or
synthesize the sound and digitize it into the ROM. The sound data can be played back in the sequence of the
control functions as designed by the user's program. Several algorithms are recommended for high fidelity and
compression of sound including PCM, LOG PCM, and ADPCM.
For melody synthesis, the SPC21A1 provides the dual tone mode. After selecting the dual tone mode, users
only need to fill either TMA or TMB, or both TMA and TMB to generate expected frequency for each channel.
The hardware will toggle the tone wave automatically without entering into an interrupt service routine.
Users
are able to simulate musical instruments or sound effects by simply controlling the envelope of tone output.
