General Description
The HT36A1 is an 8-bit high performance RISC-like
microcontroller specifically designed for music applica-
tions. It provides an 8-bit MCU and a 8 channel
wavetable synthesizer. The program ROM is composed
of both program control codes and wavetable voice
codes, and can be easily programmed.
Block Diagram
· Sampling rate of 25kHz as 6.4MHz for system
frequency
· Eight-level subroutine nesting
· HALT function and wake-up feature to reduce power
consumption
· Bit manipulation instructions
· 16-bit table read instructions
· 63 powerful instructions
· All instructions in 1 or 2 machine cycles
· 28-pin SOP, 48-pin SSOP package
The HT36A1 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 fea-
ture is provided to reduce power consumption.
