Clear Electronic Sound

Usable for Wide-ranged Application
Low Power Dissipation & Supply Voltage

DESCRIPTION
The series 7920 is a CMOS IC which plays prearranged melodies and alarm sounds electronically. Built-in oscillation circuit generates acoustic pulses, then melodies and alarm sounds are formed with only a few external
diserete parts including resistor, capacitor, speaker etc. Thus the 7920 can enjoy various applications such as
replacement for conventional music box and alarm sound generator.

FEATURES
Melody .................................... 1
Musical interval ...................... Temperament or pure temperament
Sound ..................................... 1 series, 2.5 octave
Compound interval or accompaniment are possible.(One octave interval)
Tempo .................................... 16 kinds(Prest to Largo). Two tempos in one piece.
Note ........................................ Basic note
, and also possible for
Rest ........................................ According to note
Repeat .................................... Continuous performance of pieces, and repeats(8 times at most)of a piece.
Beginning ............................... Always starts at the beginning of piece.
Input signal ............................. 1 start signal
Envelope ................................ External CR(2 series)
Volume control ....................... From external circuit(volume etc.)
Oscillation ............................... C, R oscillator (C, R external connection)
Voltage ................................... 1.5V/3.0V
Package ................................. DIP-8pin(plastic)/SOP4-8pin(plastic)

Attention
1. Oscillation frequency(fOSC)changes according to
variation of RV but stability of frequency will be
worse.
2. We feel melody differently variation of C, R1.
3. It is possible that fluctuation of oscillation frequency
become larger with increase of battery impedance.
In that case, connecting condenser between VDD
and VSS is desirable.
