GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Nuvoton’s ISD18A04 ChipCorder® is a new device of 4 to 8 seconds with wide operating voltage ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V. It provides high-quality, single chip, single-message, record/playback solution with user-selectable duration. The CMOS devices include an on-chip oscillator (with external control), microphone amplifier, multilevel storage array and speaker amplifier. A minimum record/playback subsystem can be configured with a microphone, a speaker, several passive components, two push buttons, and a power source. Recordings are stored in on-chip nonvolatile memory cells, providing zero-power message storage. This unique, single-chip solution is made possible through Nuvoton’s patented multilevel storage technology. Voice and audio signals are stored directly into memory in their natural form, providing high-quality, solid-state voice reproduction.
