APR6008

The APR6008  offers non-volatile storage of voice and/or data in advanced Multi-Level Flash memory. Up to 8 minutes of audio recording and playback can be accommodated. A max-imum of 30K bits of digital data  can  be stored. APR6008 devices can be cascaded for longer duration recording or greater digital storage. Device  control  is  accomplished through an industry standard SPI interface  that  allows  a microcontroller to manage message recording and playback.This flexible arrangement  allows for  the  widest variety of messaging options. The APR6008  is ideal for use in cellular and cordless phones, telephone answering devices, personal dgital assistants, personal voice recorders, and voice pag-ers.

APLUS  Integrated    achieves this high level of storage capability by using a proprietary analog multi-level storage technol -logy  implemented in an advanced non-volatile Flash memory process. Each memory cell can typically store 256 voltage levels. This allows the APR6008 voice to   reproduce audio
signals in their natural form, eliminating the need for enco-ding and compression which can introduce distortion.
