General Description
The HT8955A is a CMOS LSI digital audio
signal delay processor. It is designed for
audio system applications including echo
generators, karaoke systems, sound effect
generators, etc.
The chip consists of a built-in pre-amplifier,
on-chip oscillator, DRAM interface, 10-bit A/D
and D/A converters as well as control logic. It
provides continuously adjustable delay time up
to 0.8/0.2 seconds at a sampling rate of 25kHz
when combined with an external DRAM
(41256/4164). The HT8955A is superior to a
conventional BBD delay unit in its low distor-
tion, high S/N ratio and long delay time. Its
sophisticated low pass filter will not end in the
normal applications due to the high sampling
rate (25~50kHz). Hence, the HT8955A is excel-
lent for audio delay system applications. It is
offered in a 24-pin dual-in-line package.

Functional Description
The HT8955A is a single chip LSI with an exter-
nal DRAM. It is designed for processing audio
signal delay. The chip includes a built-in pre-
amplifier, 10-bit A/D and D/A converters. The
A/D and D/A converters ensure low distortion as
well as high S/N ratio of the audio delay system.
The chip also provides two sets of oscillation
circuit for system sampling rate and audio echo
delay time.
Playing function block diagram
demands an external resistor between the
OSC3 and OSC4 pins. By altering the oscilla-
tion resistor, its delay time can be continuously
adjusted up to 0.8/0.2 seconds at a 25kHz sam-
pling rate for DRAM of 256Kb/64Kb.
DRAM selection
The HT8955A can interface with a DRAM for
storing delay signals. The type along with the
maximum delay time of DRAM is determined
by the status of the SEL pin as shown:
System oscillator

VSS

Type
64Kb
256Kb
Delay Time

0.8 seconds
The HT8955A provides two oscillators, one for
the sampling rate and one for echo delay time.
The sampling rate oscillator requires an exter-
nal resistor between the OSC1 and OSC2 pins.
A higher sampling rate (25~50kHz) can thus be
derived by adjusting the oscillation resistor
without having a sophisticated low pass filter.
The delay time oscillator, on the other hand,
