3. TECHNICAL BRIEF
CONTROL REGISTER;ROM/SRAM
The Control register and ROM/SRAM are accessed from "Instantaneous write register", "Delayed write
register", and "Instantaneous read register" in the intermediate register.
In the control register, there is a register to control the following synthesizer mainly. The voice parameter for
FM(GM 128 voices+DRUM 40 voices)and wave data for WT are stored in ROM. SRAM is used at the
download of arbitary FM voice parameter and Wave data for WT. moreover, it is used as storing buffer at
the stream playback of PCM/ADPCM.
FIFO
This is an abbreviation of "First Input First Output" means the memory from which data is read in order of
data written. There are 2 paths to write into FIFO in the Intermediate register.The "instantaneous write path"
is for accessing the control register and ROM/SRAM immediately,also "Delayed write path"is for accessing
the control register after managing time through the sequencer.FIFO size of Instantaneous path is 64 byte,
and its size of Delayed path is 512-byte.
SEQUENCER
This is for interpreting the contents of data which is written into the "Delayed write path" Generally, "Music
data" is written into the Delayed write path. It interprets the contents of music data and controls the
synthesizer after sequencer, and then plays the music.
Hybrid synthesizer
This device contains a built in polyphonic synthesizer that adopts a stereophonic hybrid system that
generate up to 64tones. FM synthesizer, WT synthesizer, stream playback, HV synthesizer, and AL
synthesizer are available.
DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT INTERFACE
This is a three wires type serial interface.The data length is 16bits.
DPLL SECTION/SAMPLING RATE CONVERTER SECTION
Sampling frequencies of signals from the digital audio interface section are changed into 48Khz.
DIGITAL EQUALIZER SECTION
This is a digital equalizer. Voice of signals from the Hybrid Synthesizer section and voice of digital audio
signals are adjusted.
DVX ARITHMETIC CONTROL
Two-channel virtual speaker image function that is based on DVX technology makes it possible to create
natural stereo sound under the two closely spaced speakers.
OVER SAMPLING FILTER
4 Times of over sampling filter. It converts a signal of sampling frequency 48Khz into a signal of 192Khz,and
then send to DAC
GENERAL PARALLEL I/O PORT SECTION(GPIO)
There are six general parallel I/O ports. It is possible to read and write from the Intermediate register.
