2.    ADPCM IC164 – System Controller IC722 
The audio signal that is amplified and level-adjusted by the microphone amplifier IC161 and AGC IC162, is input to pin-3 [AIN1] of the ADPCM IC164, passes through the 
internal operational amplifier and is converted to the digital data by the A/D converter inside IC164 and is compressed to the PCM format. After the digital data is compressed to 
the PCM format, it is output from pin-27 [PCMSO] of the ADPCM IC164 in synchronization with the bit clock of pin-29 [BCLK] and the rising-edge of the sync signal input to 
pin-28 [SYNC] of the ADPCM IC164. At the same time, the PCM signal is sent to pin-26 [PCMSI] of the ADPCM IC164 where it is converted to the ADPCM data inside IC164 
and is output from pin-25 [IS] of IC164 in synchronization with the bit clock of pin-29 [BCLK] and the fall-down edge of the sync signal input to pin-28 [SYNC] of IC164. During 
recording, the frequency input to pin-28 [SYNC] of IC164 is 8 kHz in the LP mode and 11 kHz in the SP mode. 
The ADPCM data that is input to pin-21 [DSP RX] of the system controller IC722, is converted to the parallel data together with the watch information from the timer (RTC) 
IC721, the alarm data and the priority data that are set by user. The parallel data is output via the bus line sequentially to the 2M-bit S-RAM of IC727 where the parallel data 
that is converted to the file format that suits to be recorded in the Memory Stick. The converted data is output from pin-12 [MS DIO] to the controller inside the Memory Stick in 
synchronization with the clock at pin-13 [MS CLK] and the bus state signal at pin-11 [MS BS]. The controller inside the Memory Stick records the input data in the internal 
FLASH RAM. 
For the recording monitor using the headphones, the signal that is converted once to the ADPCM data, is returned to the receiver side (ADPCM demodulation and D/A 
conversion) of ADPCM IC164 via system controller IC722 and is sent to pin-4 [IN] of the POWER AMP IC168 via sound volume control VR RV161. 
 
3.    VOR DETECTOR IC163 – SYSTEM CONTROLLER IC722 
The audio signal that has passed through the operational amplifier inside ADPCM IC164, is used as signal to detect the VOR (Voice on recording) operation. This signal is input 
to pin-1 [INPUT] of the VOR DETECTOR IC163. When amplitude of the input signal is detected by the internal detection circuit to be higher than a certain signal level, output 
signal from pin-6 [OUT PUT1] is set to "L". The "L" output is sent to pin-147 [XVORIN] of the system controller IC722. When the VOR switch S764 is set to the ON position 
(pin-171 of the system controller is "L"), the system controller IC722 controls recording of the audio data into the Memory Stick in accordance with presence or absence of the 
input signal to pin-147 [XVORIN]. Note that the capacitor C176 that is connected to pin-5 [RECOVERY TIME CAP] of the VOR DETECTOR IC163, is for the delay time setting 
to reset the VOR detection circuit.
