ROHM Semiconductor starts the promotion of the ML22(Q)34x Playback IC family, a series of low power audio decoder with integrated Mask ROM or Flash memory and 1W monaural speaker amplifier.
Events that are triggered by switches or sensors can directly start speech or sound playback without the need of an additional Microcontroller. In addition it allows controlling peripheral circuits such as LEDs. The IC series incorporates all peripheral components necessary for speech and sound output in a single chip. Because of these features it can be easily used to integrate audio functions into existing and new electronic systems.
ROHM Semiconductor provides an evaluation kit, which allows an easy creation of the ROM code on the PC and a simple programming of audio data into the flash memory.
