PLEASE HELP ME FIND INFO ON A CHIP I'D LIKE TO USE

[UFO Joe]

Can anyone please help me to find a datasheet, or at least pinouts for the
Texas Instrument TSP5220CNL voice synthesis chip.

Or where I might find them. I have checked Datasheets.or.uk,
Datasheetarchive.com, Alldatasheet.com, Chipdocs.com, Datasheets4u.com,
Datasheetcatalog.com and Chipcatalog.com without any success. I also tried
the Texas Instrument website.

It was used in vintage arcade machines, the TI/44a computers, the Speak 'n
Spell, etc.

Also does anyone know of any EXTERNAL voice synthesizer boxes that ran on
PCs using the serial port that used the TSP5220 chip?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Google is your friend. Search for TSP5220 yields this as top result:

Lots of pictures of a device that uses RS-232 to communicate with a PC
or anything else. Chips are socketed and the board looks simple enough
to maybe reverse engineer, with the right equipment (logic analyzer).

Thank you very much for the quick reply.

Are you sure the TSP5220CNL is the same as the TMS5220?
What are the differences?

Thank you in advance!

I don't know. Perhaps not.

The web page http://www.datamath.org/Speech_IC.htm claims to list all
known old Texas Instruments Speech ICs. The TSP5220 isn't mentioned
there at all, so I thought it was a typo.

Sorry for the confusion.
