magic clownModel: Magic Clown
Battery: 4 x AA 

AC adapter:
Year: 1993

Chip: TSP50C11/CSM11124 TSP50C50 ( voice Processor )

Info: The Stack-A-Round Clown, the first stacking toy that talks, was introduced in the US in 1991.

Five colorful rings, each representing a facial feature make up "Clarance the Clown's" face. Clarance recognizes each ring as it is placed on, or removed from, the stacking post. His friendly voice gives the name of the feature and explains the purpose of each part with a clever rhyme. Rings can be stacked in any order, allowing the child to create over 1000 faces. 

Dismantling this Stack-A-Round Clown manufactured in 1992 by (or for) Texas Instruments in China reveals a technology very similar to the various Touch & Talkies. The design of the Magic Melody Tell is centered around a TSP50C11 Voice Synthesis Processor (VSP) and makes use of just one Integrated Circuit, TSP50C11 and TSP50C50 (Voice Synthesis Processor) with 8-bit microcontroller and 16k Bytes Mask ROM for both program and voice and 128 Bytes + 16 Nibbles RAM.
