• Description: Very Low-cost Voice Synthesizer With 4-bit Microprocessor
• Manufacturer: Aplus Integrated circuits Inc.

1.0 General Description
The ASM1506C is very low cost voice synthesizer with 4-bit microprocessor. It has various features
including 4-bit ALU, ROM, RAM, I/O ports, timers, clock generator, watchdog timer(WDT), voice
synthesizer, etc. It consists of 22 instructions in the device. With CMOS technology and halt function
can minimize power dissipation. Its architecture is similar to RISC, with two stages of instruction
pipeline. It allows all instructions to be executed in a single cycle, except for program branches and
data table read instructions (which need two instruction cycles).
1.1 Feature
ASM1506C –
Single power supply can operate from 2.4V through 5V
Internal Program ROM: 4K x 10-bit
1 sets of 17-bit DPR can access up to 48K x 10 bits data memory space
Data Registers:
I/O Ports:
On-chip clock generator: Resistive Clock Drive(RM)
Timer: 1
Stack: 2-level subroutine nesting
HALT and Release from HALT function to reduce power consumption
Watch Dog Timer (WDT)
Instruction: 1-cycle instruction except for table read and program branches which are 2-cycles
Number of instruction: 22
The Voice function can be implemented by microprocessor instruction
