Abstract
Disclosed is a speech synthesizer integrated circuit as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is characterized in that; Using one chip LSI, it implements the fundamental controls for the speech synthesizing operations, for example, and fundamental controls for the key input and display operations (corresponding to the functions usually performed by any of the conventional microprocessors). The preferred embodiment of the present invention has made it possible to realize an extremely useful and versatile speech synthesizer integrated circuit by externally connecting a memory that stores the controlled programs and sound data available for synthesizing the intended speech. By allocating the same addresses to the internal and external memory storage areas, programs can be located at identical memory addresses, thereby increasing system efficiency.
