The eSC series IC's are 4-bit microcontroller based sound processor with single-channel speech audio function. The series has a powerful 4-bit CPU that handles most of the speech functions. Wide range sampling rate and different volume levels are supported. It provides a synthesized speech to obtain good quality speech as well as one 4-bit input port, three 4-bit I/O ports, and one 4-bit output port (applicable to eSC100/120/170/200/270/320). By programming through the microcontroller, applications, such as section combination, trigger mode, output control, keyboard matrix, and other logic functions are easily put into effect.
In addition to Sleep mode, the eSC series IC's also offer Green mode which allows continuous operation at reduced or very low power consumption. Normal operation resumes at a preset time.
The enhanced functions will facilitate users in creating a wide variety of devices with new fancy features.

Features

• System clock:
          * 4 MHz @ 2.2 volts ~ 5.1 volts.
          * 6 MHz @ 2.4V ~ 5.1V.
• Auto optional crystal oscillator or RC oscillator.
• Input/Output ports:
          * One Input port (P1) with software controlled pull low resistor.
          * Three input/output ports (P2 ~ P4).
             P2 & P3 are software controlled with pull low resistor and wake-up function.
             P4 is applicable to eSC065/080/100/120/170/200/270/320.
          * One output port (P5) applicable to eSC100/120/170/200/270/320.
• Sleep mode to conserve power (less than 1uA @ 3V standby current).
