Introduction

A.1 Introduction

MSP50C605 is a spin off of the core processor MSP50C614. It uses three IO ports of MSP50C614 and maps a 1.835 Mbits of internal ROM. Using a 1 kbps MELP algorithm, the C605 can provide over 30 minutes of uninterrupted speech. There is no Port A and Port B control register in MSP50C605. Port DRD is read only, and Port DRP and DRA are write only. Apart from the addi- tional ROM and corresponding IO port changes, all other functionality of the processor is similar to MSP50C614. The mapping is as follows:
