ASM12712C/17012C
– VERY LOW-COST VOICE SYNTHESIZER WITH 4-BIT
MICROPROCESSOR
1.0 General Description
The ASM12712C/17012C 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),
voicesynthesizer, etc. It consists of 22 instructions in the device. With CMOS technology and halt
functioncan minimize power dissipation. Its architecture is similar to RISC, with two stages of
instructionpipeline. 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

• PRB: 4-bit Output Port B (2Dh)
• PRC: 4-bit Input Port C (2Fh)
On-chip clock generator: Resistive Clock Drive(RM)
Timer: 1
• Timer0: a 9-bit auto-reload timer/counter
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
