  • General Instruments / Microchip
Model Package type Features
AY-3-8910/A DIP40
AY-3-8912 DIP28 * IO parallel port B not connected
AY-3-8913 DIP24 * IO parallel ports A and B not connected
AY-3-8914/A DIP40 * control registers on the chip are shuffled around, and the 'expected input' on the A9 pin may be different.
AY-3-8916 DIP40
AY-3-8917 DIP36
AY-3-8930 DIP40 * The pulse width can be changed from square to four other duty cycles. * There are three independent envelope generators, one for each channel. * The amplitude control is more accurate (5 bit instead of 4 bit). * The tone period setting is more accurate (16 bit vs 12 bit). * The noise period setting is more accurate (8 bit vs 5 bit). * The noise tone can be changed by applying an AND and OR mask to the output. * The function of the BC2 pin is changed (it is ignored and assumed to be 0 regardless of the pin state).
