GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Winbond’s ISD14B20 ChipCorder® is a new single-chip multiple-message record/playback series with dual operating modes (address trigger and direct trigger) with wide operating voltage ranging from 2.4V to 5.5V. The sampling frequency can be selected from 4 to 12 kHz via an external resistor, which also determines the duration from 10.6 to 32 seconds. The device is designed for mostly standalone applications, and of course, it can be manipulated by a microcontroller, if necessary. The two operating modes are address trigger and direct trigger. While in address trigger mode, both record and operations are manipulated according to the start address and end address specified through the start address and end address pins. However, in direct trigger mode, the device can configure the memory up to as many as eight equal messages, pending upon the fixed message configuration settings. With the record or playback feature being pre-selected, each message can be randomly accessed via its message control pin.
