General Description
The HT36B0 is an 8-bit high performance RISC-like
microcontroller specifically designed for music applica-
tions. 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.
Block Diagram
· Polyphonic up to 16 notes
· Independent pan and volume mix can be assigned to
each sound component
· Sampling rate of 44.1kHz as 11.059MHz 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
· UART input/output 31.25kbps
· 28-pin SOP, 64-pin QFP package
The HT36B0 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.
