Abstract
An audio storing and reproducing apparatus is provided that has a semiconductor chip and a control unit. The semiconductor chip includes a semiconductor memory having a plurality of storage areas, a single storage specifying input terminal, a single reproduce specifying input terminal, and a storage medium controller that controls storing of the audio data to the storage areas and readout of the audio data therefrom in accordance with the signal input to the storage specifying and reproduce specifying input terminals. The control unit includes a single storage area specifying switch, a single storage specifying switch, a single reproduce specifying switch and a control circuit. The control circuit send a storage area specifying signal to the storage specifying input terminal when the storage area specifying switch is operated, generates a storage specifying signal after sending of the storage area specifying signal to the storage specifying input terminal when the storage specifying switch is operated, and sends a reproduce specifying signal to the reproduce specifying input terminal when the reproduce specifying switch. Thus, recording on and reproducing from the plural storage areas of the semiconductor memory is selectively performed in accordance with the signals input to two input terminals—i.e., the storage specifying input terminal and reproduce specifying input terminal.
