SN76477N datasheet by Texas Instruments

SN76477N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the SN76477N?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VDD, and then the clock signal. This ensures proper initialization of the device.
• How do I generate a 1.79 MHz clock signal for the SN76477N?
  You can use a crystal oscillator or a clock generator IC to generate a 1.79 MHz clock signal. Alternatively, you can use a divide-by-2 or divide-by-4 circuit to generate the clock signal from a higher frequency clock source.
• What is the maximum amplitude of the audio output signal?
  The maximum amplitude of the audio output signal is approximately 1.5V peak-to-peak. This can be adjusted using the volume control pin (VOL).
• How do I implement noise reduction or filtering on the audio output?
  You can add external filtering or noise reduction circuits, such as a low-pass filter or a notch filter, to the audio output pin (OUT) to reduce noise or unwanted frequencies.
• Can I use the SN76477N with a microcontroller or CPU?
  Yes, the SN76477N can be used with a microcontroller or CPU to generate audio signals. You can use the microcontroller to control the SN76477N's registers and generate audio signals in real-time.
