What voice IC chip should be used when designing children's educational music toys?

When designing educational musical toys for children, it is important to prioritize safety, durability, and ease of use. Choosing the right voice IC (Integrated Circuit) chip depends on a variety of factors such as required functionality, budget, and compatibility with your specific requirements. So when choosing a voice IC chip, consider factors such as required recording and playback duration, ease of integration, power consumption, and overall system compatibility. Additionally, make sure the chip you choose meets safety standards for children’s toys and provides the necessary functionality for the educational content you plan to incorporate. Always check for the latest products and technologies available on the market, as advancements in the field may lead to new and improved options.

There are currently many voice chip options available on the market. For children’s toy designers, they should choose the most suitable one based on their actual needs. What is the most suitable? Products in the toy market have very high cost requirements. Of course, you must choose a cheaper one based on meeting product needs.

Next, we will take a children’s music electronic keyboard product as an example to introduce the idea of selecting a voice chip for the hardware design of voice toy products:

The GY6152 chip used in this case is a SOP-16 voice chip developed by Dongguan Geyuan Electronics Co., Ltd. It comes with a 32BIT MCU and a 1W amplifier speaker driver.

Why choose GY6152A chip?

First of all, the main functions of this electronic keyboard product are 5 touch buttons, 4 lights, and a 1W speaker. If the SOP-8 chip pins are not enough, the GY6152A chip has a 16-pin package and comes with a 1W amplifier. The foot position is sufficient.

In addition, the functions of electronic keyboard products are slightly complex. In addition to the midi sound effects of a few buttons, they also need to play different sound effects and different music songs in different states. The powerful MCU processor of GY6152 can just meet this requirement.

In the end, I chose this chip, and it turns out that I made the right choice. Geyuan Electronics’ software is also very efficient, and its service is very good. Samples can be produced in one week, and the product development cycle can be achieved in one month to achieve mass production. To sum up, it is really important to choose a voice chip developer.
