REE
TEXAS INSTRUMENTSTMS3617 ANS;
The TMS3617ANS is a device of the OCTAVE MULTIPLE TONE SYNTHESIZER
family, producing 6 footage current outputs, for application in
electronic musical instruments.
With this simple high integration component, used repetitively for
each octave, the architecture of an electronic organ becomes:
RESET
TO DRAW BAR SELECTION
The TMS 3617ANSmakes possible the introduction of substantial
advantages in the electronic organ:
+ achievement of modularity by matching the device count to
the number of octaves in the keyboard
- major simplification of the architecture
- enhanced-analog characteristics
- significant improvement of the reliability
KEY FEATURES :
- Lew cost P MOS technology
- 13 key input (octave organization)
- Internal tone generation
- Mask programmable TOS duty cycle
TEXAS INSTRUMENTSTMS 3617 ANS;
- 6 footages (16', 8', 514 pdt 2%, 2') current outputs
- Sustain of the output signals is possible by simply connec
ting a capacitor (1 /uF) to each key input
- Sustain decay time adjustable from a few ms to a very long
time (key memorization) through a dedicated analog input
TMS3617ANS RI11X-17 or digital input TMS3617ANS RI-11X-171
- Possibility of controlling the amplitude swing of the foot
age outputs, to minimize the spread among different devices,
by connecting a simple external network to the appropriate
terminals
- Asynchronous reset to synchronize devices of different
octaves
- Single power supply (15V or 12V typical)
- Clock output for lower octave devices.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
There is a tone generation network that produces 49 acoustic
frequencies for the various footages.
The actual frequency of the tones depends on the input clock.
A clock output {half of the Erequency of the clock input) is
provided to be used as clock input to the next lower octave
device.
The pull-up impedance of the K inputs is programmable from a
low value to an open circuit value by applying to the Sustain
Bias input a variable voltage for the TMS3617ANS RI11X-17 (analog con-
trol) or a variable duty cycle square wave for the TMS3617ANS RI11X-171
(digital control).
The K inputs go in parallel to the Analog Modulator Array
blocks of the 6 footages.
Each of these blocks contains 13 identical current output
analog modulators as shown in fig.
MIXED OUTPUT

TONES
TEXAS INSTRUMENTSays. 3817 ANS:
Each modulator produces an acoustic carrier (Tone), amplitude
modulated from 0% to 100% by the corresponding k input voltage,
around a constant d.c. level (offset current) equal to one half
the maximum swing of each modulator output.
These outputs are then summed together, instant by instant, to
provide a single composite output current given by:
13
I 2
out Tia + C Vk Fk)
Where:
- I, is the modulator output current {100 ua typical) with
the k input at Vss.
C is a constant
- Vk are the voltages on the k inputs, with respect of Vss.
Fk are functions whose value are +1 or -1 according to the
internal tone waveforms ("1", "O" logic).
The méan value of each modulator‘s output is equal to Ig while the
signal component C Vk Fk is equal to + I, if Vk is equal to
Vpp. In order to make this Ig value independent from temperature
and constant, among different devices serving different octaves,
cach modulator has a gain control (STBIN) coming from the GAIN
STABILIZATLON NETWORK. This network provides automatic gain control
{\.G.C.) when used in conjunction with an external amplifier
that senses the current on the output STBOUT (this current is
equal to I.) and automatically adjusts the STBIN voltage to
maintain this current constant, as shown in Fig

TEXAS INSTRUMENTSTMS 3617 ANS;
If the gain stabilization is not needed, the STBOUT may be left
open and the STBIN must be connected at Ygg-
A reset network is provided to synchronize many devices together
and to allow the frequency counters (tos) enter their proper
counting sequence. On the reset input RESIN there is a schmitt
trigger to allow slow changing edges of the reset signal.
The output of this schmitt trigger is available on RESOUT.
WARNING
In order to avoid that a mishandling of the PC Board might cause
reliability problems associated with the internal circuitry, we
suggest to connect the PIN4 and PIN24 with an external resistor
of .5 MSLto Ygg on the same PC Board.
