Picture of circuit board

This sale consists of the following item:

General Midi circuit board that implements WaveTable and FM music synthesis using the Yamaha OPL4-ML YMF704C-S / YMF704S with YAC516 chipset.

The OPL4-ML (YMF704-S) is a single-chip, FM-enhanced wavetable synthesizer designed for all PC audio platforms from add-in cards to motherboards, and all PC audio applications from games to desktop music.

The OPL4-ML chip integrates a "wavetable-sample" ROM and General MIDI processor with a wavetable synthesizer and an OPL3 FM synthesizer on a single chip. The standard General MIDI interface allows games to directly access wavetable sound. The device complies with the General Midi (GM) level 1 specification

Features:

• Complies with GM System Level 1
• Contains an interface that is compatible with MPU-401 UART mode

• FM synthesis is register level comparible with OPL3
• Contains 8-Mbit WaveTable ROM

• 24 Voice simultaneous WaveTable synthesis
• 187 Sounds
  • 128 Instrument Sounds
  • 59 Percussive Voices

This circuit board measures 1.3" x 2.6" (32mm x 66mm) and has 26 socket header (2 rows of 13, 0.10" spacing). The socket header is the interface to the OPL4 and provides connections for +5v digital power supply, +/-12v analog power supplies, MIDI input, left and right line level audio output, and an active low reset. The MIDI connection is used to send MIDI commands to the OPL4 synthesizer

The circuit board has the YMF704 Yamaha OPL4 chip (100 pin SQFP) along wih the YAC516-E Digital-To-Analog converter. The YAC516-E is a delta sigma modulation D/A covnerter with 8-times over-sampling filter in a 24-pin SOP package. The YAC516 takes the 16 bit 2's complement digital data (both Left and Right data) and converts the digital data to analog audio at 44.1Khz sampling frequency.

Specifications

What we are selling is the circuit board assembly that contains the Yamaha OPL4 chipset (YMF704 and YAC516) as pictured at the beginning of this page. This circuit board is ready to use by supplying the +5, +/-12v power supplies. Then you send MIDI commands to it and it supplies analog audio as an output.
