W561XXX DESIGN GUIDE
- 2 -
Winbond supports the development for the W56xxx family as usual -- user friendly developing
environment. Several development tools are provided in order to cut the time required to
develop a code. They are ICE (In Circuit Emulator), Speech Coding System Version 7.51 Beta
(including MIDI conversion utility and PCMMelody timbre librarian), and demo boards.
The W56000 chip is used for the In Circuit Emulation for all of the family members. All of the
derivatives of this family is a sub-set of the W56000 chip.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The W561xxx is a sub-set of the W56000. It consists of a 4-bit uC, two ADPCM/PCM synthesizer
and one PCM Melody generator. The W562xx also consists of 4 bits uC, two ADPCM synthesizer
and one dual tone melody generator but PCM Melody generator for cost issue, and do not
support volume control. The internal 4-bit uC is composed of a 64-nibble RAM, and an 8-bit
timer.
The W561xxx is one of the derivatives of the W56000 family (the MIDI speech products with
multi-engine capability). It is capable of processing
μ
C, speech synthesis, and PCM Melody
generation in parallel. The internal 4-bit
μ
C is a simple engine to execute instructions of up to
12 KIPS (Kilo-Instructions Per Second). Other engines are activated in parallel with the
μ
C to
implement specific tasks, like speech syntheses and PCM Melody generation.
The W561xxx consists of a 4-bit
μ
C, two ADPCM/PCM synthesizers, one 4-tone PCM
Melody generator, and on-chip ROM (program ROM plus 128-Kbit timbre ROM). The internal
4-bit
μ
C is composed of an ALU, a 64-nibble RAM, and an 8-bit timer.
The dual channel operations (synth1 and synth2, or synth and PCM Melody) is implemented
by dedicated H/W only with the help of synth interrupts for concatenating voice segments and
melody phrases automatically. The efforts in programming the speech equation is much like
that of the PowerSpeech. User-friendly programming style is thus preserved under Winbond's
speech coding system.
The W561xxx is equipped with the W56000 ICE system, customers' programs can be
debugged efficiently and effectively than ever.
