The MSM9836 is a PCM voice synthesis IC with built-in 3-Mbit mask ROM, D/A converter, and
low-pass filter (LPF).
The MSM9836 is specifically designed for applications that use a microcontroller.
For this reason, functional support for standalone mode and RC oscillation has been omitted
from the MSM9805, and the ROM capacity and the number of phrases have been increased.
By using Oki's Sound Analysis and Editing Tool, ROM data such as Phrase Control Table can be
easily set, created, edited, and evaluated.
The following table lists the functional differences between the MSM9836 and the MSM9805.

The IC enters the standby state if this pin is set to "L" level. At this time, oscillation
stops and AOUT output becomes GND level, then the IC returns to the initial state.
Apply a "L" pulse upon power-on.
This pin has an internal pull-up resistor.
Signal output pin that indicates whether the 7-bit LATCH (see Block Diagram) is idle.
NAR at "H" level indicates that the LATCH is empty and ST input is enabled.
Ceramic oscillator input/external clock input switching pin. Set to "H" level if ceramic
oscillation is used. Set to "L" level if external clock is used.
Volume setting pin. If this pin is set to GND level, the maximum current is forced in,
and if set to V
level, the minimum current is forced in.
DD
An approx. 10 kW pull-down resistor is internally connected to this pin during operation.
Voice output pin.
The voice signals are output as current changes. A "L" level signal is output through
this pin in standby state.
Ground pin.
Power supply pin. Insert a bypass capacitor of 0.1 mF or more between this pin and
the GND pin.
Ceramic oscillator connection pin when ceramic oscillation is selected.
Input from this pin if external clock is used.
Ceramic oscillator connection pin when ceramic oscillation is selected.
Leave this pin open if external clock is used.
A "L" level signal is output through this pin in standby state.
Normally leave this pin open. This pin is used only for testing the internal circuit.
Voice synthesis starts at fall of ST, and addresses I0 to I6 are fetched at rise of ST.
Input ST when NAR, the status signal, is at "H" level.
This pin has internal pull-up resistor.
Phrase input pins corresponding to playback sound.I0 - I6I
This pin is at "H" level after reset is input. A "L" level signal is output through this pin
for the time during which voice is being played.
