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

1.0 General Description
The ASM0406C 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
