PSG
,/* Schematics */
The Programmable Sound Generator (PSG) of the CPC is an AY-3-8912 chip. It is able to output three separate sound channels (named Channel A, B and C). Each channel can be used to output tones and/or white noise. == Clock Frequency == The PSG is driven by an external clock at 1MHz provided by the [[Gate Array]]. The AY chip has an internal clock divider by 8 which means that it works internally at 125KHz, outputting 125,000 samples per second for each channel.

The PSG is driven by an external clock at 1MHz provided by the [[Gate Array]].
The AY chip has an internal clock divider by 8 which means that it works internally at 125KHz, outputting 125,000 samples per second for each channel.
The BC2 and A8 pins are always equal to 1 as they are connected to +5V.
The /A9 pin is non-existent on the AY-3-8912 model.
