HT36A0 -- 8-Bit Music Synthesizer MCU (Restricted Products)

General Description

The HT36A0 is an 8-bit high performance RISC-like microcontroller specifically designed for music applications. It provides an 8-bit MCU and a 16 channel wavetable synthesizer. The program ROM is composed of both program control codes and wavetable voice codes, and can be easily programmed.

The HT36A0 has a built-in 8-bit microprocessor which programs the synthesizer to generate the melody by setting the special register from 20H~2AH. A HALT feature is provided to reduce power consumption.
