arithmetic, 9 immediate arithmetic, and 6 miscellaneous
instructions. All instructions are 3 bytes or fewer, and no
instruction requires more than 8 clock cycles to execute.
The two independent oscillators of the RSC-164i provide
counts to two internal timers. Each of the two timers
consists of an 8-bit reload value register and an 8-bit up-
counter. The reload register is readable and writeable by
the processor.
INTERRUPTS
GENERAL PURPOSE I/O
The RSC-164i has 12 general purpose I/O pins (P0.0-
P0.7, P1.0-P1.3). Each pin can be programmed as an
input with weak pull-up (~400kΩ equivalent device);
input with strong pull-up (~10kΩ equivalent device);
input without pull-up, or as an output. This is
accomplished by having 24 bits of configuration registers
for the I/O pins (Port Control Register A and Port
Control Register B for ports 0 and 1).
The RSC-164i allows for five interrupt sources, as
selected by software. Each has its own mask bit and
request bit in the IMR and IRQ registers respectively.
The following events can generate interrupts:
•
•
•
•
•
Positive edge on Port 0, bit 0
Overflow of Timer 1
Overflow of Timer 2
Sensory reserved functions
Completion of PWM sample period
EXTERNAL MEMORY
The RSC-164i can connect serially through two I/O lines
to a serial EEPROM for applications with low data
storage and low access speed requirements. Speaker-
dependent and speaker verification can therefore be
performed on the RSC-164i with such external memory.
ANALOG OUTPUT
The RSC-164i offers two separate options for analog
output. The DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) output
provides a general purpose 10-bit analog output that may
be used for speech output (with the inclusion of an audio
amplifier), or other purposes requiring an analog
waveform. For speech applications that require driving a
small speaker, the PWM (Pulse-Width Modulator) output
can be used instead of the DAC output. The PWM
output can directly drive a 32 ohm speaker.
OSCILLATORS
Two independent oscillators in the RSC-164i provide a
high-frequency clock and a 32kHz time-keeping clock.
The oscillator characteristics are as follows:

THE INTERACTIVE SPEECH™ PRODUCT LINE
The Interactive Speech line of ICs was developed to
“bring life to products”
through advanced speech and audio technology.
These chips allow products to think, talk, hear and play music. The Interactive Speech chips were designed for consumer
telephony products and cost-sensitive consumer electronic applications such as home electronics, personal security, and
personal communication. The product line includes general purpose microcontrollers (RSC-164, RSC-164i, RSC-132i) and
application specific standard speech ASSPs (Voice Password™ and Voice Direct™).
RSC-164
The RSC-164 is a low-cost 8-bit microcontroller designed for use in consumer electronics. It is a
fully integrated microcontroller and includes A/D, D/A, ROM, and RAM circuitry on chip. The
RSC-164 can perform a full range of speech/audio functions including speech recognition,
speaker verification, speech and music synthesis, and voice record/playback.
RSC-132i
The RSC-132i, the lowest cost member of the RSC series, is a speech enabled microcontroller designed specifically for the toy
industry. The RSC-132i can support various combinations of speech technologies. The RSC-132i combines an 8-bit
microcontroller with high quality speaker-independent and speaker-dependent speech recognition, speech synthesis, and
speaker verification. This chips has 32 kBytes of ROM and limited I/O pins
Voice Password™ ASSP
The Voice Password™ ASSP provides consumer products with low cost biometric security. The chip lets products “lock out”
unauthorized access by verifying key words and/or voices. Using text dependent speaker verification technology, Voice
Password can secure products at a variety of security thresholds for many different applications.
Voice Direct™ ASSP
The Voice Direct™ ASSP provides cost-sensitive products with speaker-dependent speech recognition, speech synthesis and
DTMF tone generation. This easy-to-use, pin-configurable chip requires no custom programming and can recognize up to 60
trained words. The Voice Direct™ ASSP is most ideal for consumer telephony products which feature voice dialing.
