General Description

The HT813D0 is a single-chip LOG-P CM voice synthesizer LSI wi th 5.6-second voice capacity at 6kHz sampling rate. The chip when triggered drives a speaker through an external transistor with a current switch D/A converter output. Negligible current will be consumed in the standby state.
The HT813D0 provides 8 key inputs and 2 pro­grammable FLAG outputs. With 2.4V~5.0V power supply, a complete synthesized voice playback system can be ea sily built with very few external components.
Alert & warning system
Sound effect generators
The custome r’s voice s ources are reco rded sec­tion by section into an internal mask ROM. The instructions of section playback arrangement of each key are stored in the table ROM. The key features are also programmable. With such a flexible structure, the HT813D0 is excellent for versatile voice applications.

Functional Description

The HT813D0 is a mask ROM type voice synthe­sizer with 5 .6-second voice capacity. A group of pre-recorded voice sections is played upon receipt of key trigger input signals. Two FLAG signals are output while playing voices.
The 5.6-second voice capacity can be divided into sections of arbitrary length. Notice that the si­lence length and end-pulse width are not in­cluded in the memory.
By using HOLTEK’s programming tools, the contents and arrange ment of sections, as well as key features and FLAG output are all pro­grammable before device fabrication.
The IC provides 8 key inputs (KEY1~KEY8). Of the 8 keys, KEY1 can b e optioned as a direct, sequential or rando m trigger key. KEY8 can be selected as a stop or a direct key. The remaining 6 keys (KEY2~KEY7), are u sed as direct keys exclusively.

The oscillator is turned on when triggered by a key input. After playing, it is immediately turned off. Then the chip goes into the standby state.
Voice ROM
The voice ROM is originally designed to continu­ously record the 5.6-second voice data at about 6kHz sampling rate. A higher sampling rate will generate voices of better playback quality , but will shorten the total recording time. On the other hand, a lower sampling rate will result in longer recording time but sacrifice voice quality.
The playback time can be significantly ex tended by making use of coding efficiency, silence playing, section repeating, section cascade, et c.
Section
Section is the basic element constituting the contents of the voice ROM. During program­ming, the custome r’s voice sources can be di­vided into as many sections as required. A section can be composed of a voice or an interval of silence. However, the silent length is not counted in voice ROM. The total number of sections included should be less than 380 due to the space limitation of the function table ROM. The total length of the included sections is lim­ited by the voice ROM.
A section, when triggered by a key input, can be played once, repeatedly or cascaded with other sections, depending on the key function table instructions.

HT813D0
The following are examples of section division:
In addition, a section can be set as retriggerable or non-retriggerable depending on code option.
Retriggerable When the currently playing section is set as retriggerable, it will stop immediately upon receipt of other key inputs.
Non-retriggerable When the currently playing section is selected as non-retriggerable, it will go on playing till the whole section is completed, whether or not there is a key input in the process of playing. For a key group, some section(s) can be set as retriggerable and some as non-retriggerable. When a retriggerable section of a key group is playing, any key can be triggered to interrupt its playing. On the other hand, if it is a non-retrig­gerable section playing, any key interrupt is invalid.
Group
The HT813D0 plays groups according to the key input. A group can be made up of on e or more sections. When a key is triggered, the corre­sponding group is played. For example, trigger­ing KEY2 plays group 2, and so on. The same section is allowed to appear in different groups. However, KEY1 can be made up of multiple groups when it is optio ned as a sequential or random key. Otherwise, each key is comp osed by one group only.
function table conta ins group information and the playing order of section s in the grou ps. No ­tice that the tota l amount of sectio ns included in the groups should be less than 380–the space limitation of the function table ROM.
KEY1 as a direct key Each key is mapped to a group in the function
table. If a key is not used, the group mapped to that key is a piece o f sil ence. The following is an example of the function table:
Group 1 sec.1 + sec.2 + sec.3 + sec.5 Group 2 sec.3 Group 3 sec.2 + sec.2 + sec.3 + sec.4 Group 4 sec.5 + sec.3
As illustrated in the above table, voice R OM is composed of 5 secti ons, and 11 sections for the function table. If KEY1 is momentarily triggered, section 1, section 2, sectio n 3 and section 5 are played in sequence and then stopped. Triggering KEY2 plays section 3, and so on.
KEY1 as a sequen tial or random ke y When KEY1 is optioned as a sequential or
random key, KEY1 can include multiple groups (sub-groups) in the function table. However , the remaining 7 keys ( KEY2~KEY8) are used as direct keys exclusively and com­prise only one group in the function table. An example is show n below:
Group 1-1 sec.4 + sec.2 Group 1-2 sec.1 + sec.3
: :
:
: Group 1-N sec.2 + sec.3 Group 2 sec.2 + sec.3 Group 3 sec.3 + sec.5 Group 4 sec.1 + sec.5 + sec.2
Key function table
The sections in voice ROM are played according to the instructions of the key function table. The
As indicated i n th e abo v e ta bl e, KEY 1 can be made up of sub-groups. The corresponding sub-groups is played in sequence each time KEY1 is triggered.
5 5th May ’98
HT813D0
The playing sequence of sequential KEY1 is: Group 1-1
Group 1-2 Group 1-3 .....
Group 1-N (the last group) Group 1-1 .....
The playing sequence of random KEY1 is: Group 1-3
Group 1-5 ..... → Group 1-N
Group 1-3 Group 1-5 .....
That KEY1 functions as a random key is a special case of sequential key , which combines a particular arrangement of sub-group play­ing sequence.
Reset of KEY1 playing sequence
If a sub-group of KEY1 group is being played and one of KEY2~KEY8 is triggered, the playing sub-group will be terminated, and the newly triggered key group come is played instead. The first sub-group will start play­ing by retriggering KEY1. In other words, the KEY1 playing sequence is reset when­ever a key other than KEY1 is triggere d (see Figure 1).
Sub-group selection
When KEY1 is triggered with pulses, a de­sired sub-group can be selected by controlling its corresponding pulse number . However, the features of KEY1 have to be set in the f ollow­ing ways:
sequential or random
retriggerable
minimum key debounce time (
700µs, f
OSC
=96kHz)
For instance, if sub-group 1-3 is the previous playing group, sub-group 1-5 will start playing after 2 pulses are appli ed to KEY1, an d so on.
To make selection of KEY1 sub-groups more easily, one of KEY2~KEY8 should be pro­grammed as silence. Then this silence key has to be triggered to reset KEY1. By so doing, the playing sub-group of KEY1 is directly speci­fied by the pulse number applied to KEY1 (see Figure 2).
KEY8 as a stop key (by mask option) When KEY8 functions as a stop key , any voice
output can be stopped by pressing KEY8.
KEY1~KEY7 as a repeat key KEY1~KEY7 all functi on as repeat key if one
of the seven keys is set as a repeat key. In other words, once the mode of one of KEY1~KEY7 is determined, the remaining six keys are set accordingly.
As a repeat ke y, the sections incl uded ca n be played sequentially and repeatedly till other key input is triggered. KEY8 has no other choice but functions as a stop key when KEY1~KEY7 are set as repeat keys.

Key features
Key priority When two or more keys are triggered simulta-
neously , the output voice is determined by the key priority as shown below:
KEY1>KEY2>......KEY7>KEY8
Key debounce time There are four kinds of key-in deboun ce time to
be selected by mask option, namely , 700
µs, 22ms,
45ms and 180ms. The k ey de boun ce tim e var i es with the value of the system frequency.
Pull-high resistance Four kinds of key inp ut pin pu ll -hig h resis-
tance can be selected by mask option, namely, 20k
, 50k, 100k and 200kΩ.
The resistance may vary with VDD, tem­peratures and the chip itself due to process variations.
Trigger mode All of the eight keys can optioned as one-shot
trigger mode or level-trigger mode.
One shot
When one of the eight keys (KEY1~KEY8) is pressed mom entarily or held down, the group corresponding to that key will play once.
FLAG
When voices are playing, both FLAG1 and FLAG2 pins are activated to output one of the following signals through code option.
FLAG1 can be o ptione d as on e of the fo llowing signal outputs:
None, 3HzB flash, Busy, 6HzB flash, Voice indica­tor , or End-pul se output
FLAG2, on the other hand, can be set as one of the following signal ou tputs:
None, 3Hz flash, 6Hz flash, or Busy output
3Hz/3HzB flash When voices are playing, FLAG1 as well as
FLAG2 pin outputs a 3 Hz signal to drive a n LED. The signal is active low, 25% duty. Once the voice output is terminated, the FLAG1 and FLAG2 pins become floating outputs. When the FLAG1 and the FLAG2 pins are optioned as 3HzB and 3Hz output, they will be alternately output at a 3Hz rate.
Level trigger
When one of the eight keys i s pressed and held down, the corresponding group will keep playing. Once the pressed key is re­leased, the group will not stop till the in­cluded sections are all completed.
6Hz/6HzB flash When voices are playing, the FLAG1 pin
outputs a 6Hz signal to drive an LED. The signal is active low , 25% duty . Once the voice output is terminated, the FLAG1 pin be­comes a floating output. When the FLAG1 and the FLAG2 pins are optioned as 6HzB and 6Hz outputs, they will be alternately output at a 6Hz rate.
7 5th May ’98
Busy output When a voice group is playi ng, the ou tputs of
both FLAG1 and FLAG2 are turned low , indi­cating that the chip is busy.
In addition to the above-stated output signals, FLAG1 can also generate one of the following signals by code option:
Voice indicator output FLAG1 is active low when voices are playing.
FLAG1 is also turned low when a voice section is output. The brightness of FLAG1 varies with the volume. FLA G1 becomes floating af­ter the silence section is output or the voice output is terminated.
HT813D0
Volume control
The function of the volume control can be set by mask option. A code is written in th e function table for the purp ose of contro lling the vol ume of each section output after the volum e control function is chosen. There are two volume op­tions, namely, full range and half range.
AUD
The AUD pi n is a PM OS op en dra in stru cture. It outputs voice signals to drive a speaker through an external NPN transistor when the chip is active. However, the AUD pin becomes a floating output when the chip is in the standby state.
