7. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
7.1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Audio Quality
The Winbond’s ISD4002 ChipCorder® series is offered at 8.0, 6.4, 5.3 and 4.0 kHz sampling
frequencies, allowing the user a choice of speech quality options. Increasing the sampling frequency
will produce better sound quality, but affects duration. Please refer to Table 1: Product Summary for
details.
Analog speech samples are stored directly into on-chip non-volatile memory without the digitization
and compression associated with other solutions. Direct analog storage provides higher quality
reproduction of voice, music, tones, and sound effects than other solid-state solutions.
Duration
The ISD4002 Series is a single-chip solution with 120, 150, 180, and 240 seconds duration.
