      Speech playback MCUs(8bit)

      HQ-ADPCM is a high quality sound compression technology developed by Ky’s.
      Ky’s is a registered trademark of Kyushu Institute of Technology.

      Overview

      The ML610Q300 group CMOS MCUs with speech output functions utilize a proprietary 8-bit U8 core to achieve superior performance.
      A hardware-based high-fidelity speech playback function and high output speaker amp make it possible to provide speech functionality on a single chip, improving sound quality, simplifying control, and maximizing MCU performance.
      The optimized combination of high fidelity speech playback functionality, low power high-performance U8 core CPU, 3V/5V compatible power supply, and multiple peripheral control functions make it possible to provide speech playback operation in a variety of applications, from battery-equipped to AC-powered devices.

      Product Features

      Feature 1Speech output function on a single chip

      Features 1 of ML610Q300
      • The low-pass filter reduces noise
      • Sound algorithms: HQ-ADPCM,4bit ADPCM2,8bit PCM (non-linear/straight),16bit PCM (straight)
      • 1W speaker amplifier (@5V)
      • Power supply voltage range: 2.0V to 5.5V

      Feature 2High fidelity, high compression HQ-ADPCM makes it possible to reduce the memory capacity

      The ML610Q300 group adopts the newly developed high fidelity, high compression sound algorithm HQ-ADPCM that provides a clearer sound and richer audio range while reducing data size compared with conventional ADPCM, providing a more comfortable listening experience.For example, melodies and sound effects that are degraded with ADPCM and cannot be played with uncompressed PCM can be compressed with HQ-ADPCM, ensuring superior sound quality while reducing memory capacity. Up to 80% compression is possible vs.
      4bit ADPCM and 20% compared with 16bit ADPCM.


      Feature 3Easy speech playback

      Speech Playback Conditions Sound Code Data Request Interrupt Time*1
      16bit PCM at 16kHz 250µS
      • *1 : Time from full FIFO to empty
      • Achieves speech playback functionality by simply setting sound code data in the sound regist
      • Integrating 32-byte FIFO into the sound register makes it possible to extend the interval between sound code data request interrupts

      Applications

      The ML610Q300 provides speech playback solutions for dry cell batteries and AC-powered devices.

      The ML610Q300 group is ideal for a variety of applications, from compact battery-driven devices including digital thermometers and health care products to AC-driven devices including security devices, housing equipment, and home appliances.
