The CS9236 is a complete General MIDI wavetable music synthesizer on a single integrated circuit. The MIDI interpreter, synthesis engine, effects processing, and all RAM and ROM memories (including the wavetable sample ROM) are included on-chip. This all-digital device receives a standard serial MIDI data stream, and outputs a stereo 16-bit digital audio stream at 44.1kHz. The CS9236 digital audio output is directly compatible with the Crystal CS4236B/37B/38B multimedia CODECs, and with the CS4333 DAC.
