• Speech Synthesis LSI Series with Built-in Large Capacity P2ROM™
This series is the speech synthesis LSI equipped with LAPIS Semiconductor's original P2ROM™. After being assembled, these products wait for an order from customers, and then sound data is written. This process can significantly reduce the sample creation time and mass production TAT. It is suitable for a long time sound playback such as audio instruction
