5. PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN NAME PIN NO FUNCTION
A0-A7 1-6, 9, 10 Address Inputs: The address inputs have two functions,
depending on the level of the two Most Significant Bits (MSB)
of the address.
If either or both of the two MSBs are LOW, the inputs are all
interpreted as address bits and are used as the start address
for the current record or playback cycle. The address pins are
inputs only and do not output internal address information as
the operation progresses. Address inputs are latched by the
falling edge of PLAYE , PLAYL , or REC .
If both A6 & A7 are HIGH, then the device is in special
operational modes. Please refer to operational modes section
for details.
NC 7, 8, 11, 22 NC: No Connect
VSSD, VSSA 12, 13
Ground: Similar to VCCA and VCCD, the analog and digital
circuits internal to the ISD1400 series use separate ground
buses to minimize noise. These pins should be tied together
as close as possible to the device.
SP+, SP- 14, 15 Speaker Outputs: The SP+ and SP- pins provide direct drive
for loudspeakers with impedances as low as 16 Ω. A single
output may be used, but, for direct-drive loudspeakers, the
two opposite-polarity outputs provide an improvement in
output power of up to four times over a single-ended
connection. Forthermore, when SP+ and SP- are used, a
speakercoupling capacitor is not required. A single-ended
connection will require an AC-coupling capacitor between the
SP pin and the speaker. The speaker outputs are in a high-
impedance state during a record cycle, and held at VSSA
during power down.
VCCA, VCCD 16, 28
Supply Voltage: Analog and digital circuits internal to the
ISD1400 series use separate power buses to minimize noise
on the chip. These voltage buses are brought out to separate
pins on the package and should be tied together as close to
the supply as possible. It is important that the power supply
be decoupled as close to the package as possible.
MIC 17
Microphone: The microphone input transfers its signal to the
on-chip preamplifier. An on-chip Automatic Gain Control
(AGC) circuit controls the gain of this preamplifier from –15 to
24dB. An external microphone should be AC coupled to this
pin via a series capacitor. The capacitor value, together with
the internal 10 KΩ resistance on this pin, determines the low-
frequency cutoff for the ISD1400 series passband. See
Winbond’s Application Information for additional information
on low-frequency cutoff calculation.

- 7 - Revision 1.3
PIN NAME PIN NO FUNCTION
MIC REF 18 Microphone Reference: The MIC REF input is the inverting
input to the microphone preamplifier. This provides a noise-
canceling or common-mode rejection input to the device
when connected to a differential microphone.
AGC 19
Automatic Gain Control (AGC): The AGC dynamically
adjusts the gain of the preamplifier to compensate for the
wide range of microphone input levels. The AGC allows the
full range of sound, from whispers to loud sounds, to be
recorded with minimal distortion. The “attack” time is
determined by the time constant of a 5 KΩ internal resistance
and an external capacitor (C6 on the schematic of section 11,
Figure 5) connected from the AGC pin to VSSA analog ground.
The “release” time is determined by the time constant of an
external resistor (R5) and an external capacitor (C6)
connected in parallel between the AGC pin and VSSA analog
ground. Nominal values of 470 KΩ and 4.7 µF give
satisfactory results in most cases.
ANA IN 20 Analog Input: The analog input pin transfers its signal to the
chip for recording. For microphone inputs, the ANA OUT pin
should be connected via an external capacitor to the ANA IN
pin. This capacitor value, together with the 3.0 KΩ input
impedance of ANA IN, is selected to give additional cutoff at
the low-frequency end of the voice passband. If the desired
input is derived from a source other than a microphone, the
signal can be fed, capacitively coupled, into the ANA IN pin
directly.
ANA OUT 21 Analog Output: This pin provides the preamplifier output to
the user. The voltage gain of the preamplifier is determined
by the voltage level at the AGC pin.
PLAYL [2] 23 Playback, Level-Activated: When this input signal is held
LOW, a playback cycle is initiated, and playback continues
until PLAYL is pulled HIGH, or an EOM marker is detected.
The device automatically powers down and enters into
standby mode upon completion of a playback cycle.
PLAYE [2] 24 Playback, Edge-Activated: When a LOW-going transition is
input to this pin, a playback cycle begins. Taking PLAYE
HIGH during a playback cycle will not terminate the current
cycle. Playback continues until an EOM is encountered. Upon
completion of a playback cycle, the device automatically
powers down and enters into standby mode.
ISD1400 SERIES
- 8 -
PIN NAME PIN NO FUNCTION
RECLED 25 Record LED: The RECLED output is LOW during a record
cycle. It can be used to drive an LED to indicate a record
cycle is in progress. In addition, RECLED pulses LOW
momentarily when an end-of-message is encountered in a
playback operation.
XCLK 26
External Clock: The input has an internal pull-down device.
The ISD1400 is configured at the factory with an internal
sampling clock frequency that guarantees its minimum
nominal record/playback time. For instance, an ISD1420
operating within specification will be observed to always have
a minimum of 20 seconds of recording time. The sampling
frequency is then maintained to a variation of +2.25 percent
over the commercial temperature and operating voltage
ranges, while still maintaining the minimum specified
recording duration. This will result in some devices having a
few percent more than nominal recording time.
The Internal clock has a +5 percent tolerance over the
industrial temperature and voltage range. A regulated power
supply is recommended for industrial temperature parts. If
greater precision is required, the device can be clocked
through the XCLK pin as follows:
EXTERNAL CLOCK SAMPLE RATES
Part Number Sample Rate Required Clock
ISD1416 8.0 kHz 1024 kHz
ISD1420 6.4 kHz 819.2 kHz
These recommended clock rates should not be varied
because the antialiasing and smoothing filters are fixed, and
aliasing problems can occur if the sample rate differs from the
one recommended. The duty cycle on the input clock is not
critical, as the clock is immediately divided by two. If the
XCLK is not used, this input must be connected to
ground.
ISD1400 SERIES
Publication Release Date: November 16, 2005
- 9 - Revision 1.3
PIN NAME PIN NO FUNCTION
REC 27 Record Input: The REC input is an active-LOW record
signal. The device records whenever REC is LOW. This
signal must remain LOW for the duration of the recording.
REC takes precedence over either playback ( PLAYE or
PLAYL ) signal. If REC is pulled LOW during a playback
cycle, the playback immediately ceases and recording
begins.
A record cycle is completed when REC is pulled HIGH or
the memory space is filled.
And end-of-message marker (EOM) is internally recorded,
enabling a subsequent playback cycle to terminate
appropriately. The device automatically powers down to
standby mode when REC goes HIGH.
Notes:
[1] The REC signal is debounced for 50 ms on the rising edge to prevent a false retriggering from a push-
button switch.
[2] During playback, if either PLAYE or PLAYL is held LOW during EOM or OVF, the device will still
enter into standby mode and the internal oscillator and timing generator will stop. However, the rising
edge of PLAYE and PLAYL are not debounced and any subsequent falling edge (particularly switch
bounce) present on the input pins will initiate another playback.

6. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
6.1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Speech/Sound Quality
The Winbond’s ISD1400 series offer 6.4 and 8.0 kHz sampling frequencies, allowing the user a choice
of speech quality options. The speech samples are stored directly into on-chip non-volatile memory
without the digitization and compression associated with other solutions. Direct analog storage
provides a very true, natural sounding reproduction of voice, music, tones, and sound effects not
available with most solidstate digital solutions.
Duration
To meet end system requirements, the ISD1400 series offer single-chip solutions at 16 and 20
seconds.

ISD1420 20 6.4 2.6
* 3dB roll-off-point
EEPROM Storage
One of the benefits of Winbond’s ChipCorder® technology is the use of on-chip non-volatile memory,
providing zero-power message storage. The message is retained for up to 100 years typically without
power. In addition, the device can be re-recorded typically over 100,000 times.
Basic Operation
The ISD1400 ChipCorder® series are controlled by a single control signal, REC , PLAYE (edge-
activated playback) or PLAYL (level-activated playback). The ISD1400 parts are configured for
simplicity of design in a single/multiple-message application. Using the address lines will allow multiple
message applications.
Automatic Power-Down Mode
At the end of a playback or record cycle, the ISD1400 series automatically return to a low-power
standby mode, consuming typically 0.5 µA. After a playback cycle, the device powers down
automatically at the end of the message. After a record cycle, the device powers down immediately
after REC is pulled to HIGH.

Addressing
In addition to providing single message application, the ISD1400 series provide a full addressing
capability.
The ISD1400 series have 160 distinct addressable segments, providing the below resolutions. See
Application Information for ISD1400 address tables.

Part Number Minimum Duration (Seconds)
ISD1416 100 ms
ISD1420 125 ms
6.2. OPERATIONAL MODES
The ISD1400 series have several built-in operational modes providing maximum functionality with a
minimal additional components. The operational modes use the address pins, but are mapped to
outside the normal address range. When the two Most Significant Bits (MSBs), A6 and A7, are HIGH,
the remaining address signals are interpreted as mode bits and not as address bits. Therefore,
operational modes and direct addressing are not compatible and cannot be used simultaneously.
There are two important considerations for using operational modes. Firstly, all operations begin
initially at address 0, which is the beginning address. Later operations can begin at other address
locations, depending on the operational mode(s) chosen. In addition, the address pointer is reset to 0
when the device is changed from record to playback but not from playback to record when A4 is HIGH
in Operational Mode.
Secondly, an Operational Mode is executed when any of the control inputs, PLAYE , PLAYL or
REC , goes LOW and the two MSBs are HIGH. This Operational Mode remains in effect until the next
LOW-going control input signal, at which point the current address/mode levels are sampled and
executed.
6.2.1. Operational Modes Description
The Operational Modes can be used in conjunction with a microcontroller, or they can be hardwired to
provide the desired system operation.
A0 – Message Cueing
Message Cueing allows the user to skip through messages, without knowing the actual physical
addresses of each message. Each LOW pulse causes the internal address pointer to skip to the next
message. This mode is used for playback only and typically used with the A4 Operational Mode.
ISD1400 SERIES
- 12 -
A1 – Delete EOM Markers
The A1 Operational Mode allows recording messages sequentially and playback as a single message
with only one EOM set at the end of the final message.
A2 – Unused
A3 – Message Looping
The A3 Operational Mode allows repeating playback a message continuously from the beginning of
the memory. A message can completely fill the ISD1400 device and will loop from beginning to end.
Pulsing PLAYE will start the playback and pulsing PLAYL will end the playback.
A4 – Consecutive Addressing
During normal operation, the address pointer will reset when a message is played through to an
EOM marker. The A4 Operational Mode inhibits the address pointer reset, allowing messages to be
recorded or played back consecutively. When the device is in a static state; i.e., not recording or
playback, momentarily taking this pin LOW will reset the address counter to zero.
A5 – Unsued

Functional Description Example
The following operating examples demonstrate the functionality of the ISD1400 series.
1. Record a message:
Pulling the REC signal LOW initiates a record cycle from current location. When REC is
held LOW, the recording continues. Until the memory array is filled up or when REC is
pulled HIGH, recording ceases. An EOM marker is written at the end of message. Then the
device will automatically power down.
2. Edge-activated playback:
Pulling the PLAYE signal LOW initiates a playback cycle from the beginning of the message
until the entire message is played. The rising edge of PLAYE has no effect on operation.
When the EOM marker is encountered, the device automatically powers down. A subsequent
falling edge on PLAYE initiates a new playback operation from the beginning of the
message.
3. Level-activated playback:
Holding the PLAYL signal LOW initiates a playback cycle from the beginning of the
message, until PLAYL is pulled HIGH or when the EOM marker is encountered, playback
operation stops and the device automatically powers down.
4. Record (interrupting playback).
The REC signal takes precedence over playback operation. Holding REC LOW initiates a
new record operation from current location, regardless of any current operation in progress.
5. RECLED operation.
During record, the RECLED output pin provides an active-LOW signal, which can be used to
drive an LED as a “record-in-progress” indicator. It returns to a HIGH state when the REC
pin is pulled HIGH or when the recording is completed due to the memory being filled.
However, during playback, this pin also pulses LOW to indicate an EOM at the end of a
message.

Applications Note
Some users may experience an unexpected recording taking place when their circuit is powered up,
or the batteries are changed and VCC rises faster than REC . This undesired recording prevents
playback of the previously recorded message. A spurious End Of Message (EOM) marker appears at
the very beginning of the memory, preventing access to the original message, and nothing is played.
To prevent this occurrence, place a capacitor (approx. 0.001 µF) between the control pin (REC ) and
VCC. This pulls the control pin voltage up with VCC as it rises. Once the voltage is HIGH, the pull-up
device will keep the pin HIGH until intentionally pulled LOW, preventing the false EOM marker.
Since this anomaly depends on factors such as the capacitance of the user’s printed circuit board, not
all circuit designs will exhibit the spurious marker. However, it is recommended that the capacitor is
included for design reliability. A more detailed explanation and resolution of this occurrence is
described in Application Information.
