Datasheet for TMS3615 (old generator sound)

Emmanuel Ravon

Hi all,

I'm searching datasheet of a quite old chip, TMS3615. It's a sound generator used in organ.

It seem this chip aged (after 30 year), and some output decay. If someone have old databook where this datasheet is available, I will be happy.

My goal is first to understand how this chip work, and in second place, design a replacement if possible.

Thanks in advance

Anyone with old databook ?

Hello Emmanuel-

This is a 24-[in DIP that was used as an audio oscillator/generator for 13 different frequencies in many old keyboards.

It seems that this website here has the chip offered for sale (used ones), as well as the datasheet for sale also:

I have no prior experience with them, so I don't know if they are a legitimate source or not.

Good luck!

Thanks for answer !

I ask them to see if this datasheet is really available and in what format ? (scanned databook iI think)
