Selection of a microcontroller for Childs Toy...



Hi,

We are designing a simple childs toy with the following features:

* Must Respond to up to 5 buttons
* Output up to 2 minutes of preprogrammed sounds through a speaker
* Must be programmable to respond in different ways according to the
order of the button pressed

It is preferred that the microcontroller contain an 8 - 12 bit onboard
DAC, EEPROM programability, low voltage consumption...

Optional features would include melody output (To play music while
sound is playing).

I have investigated the Winbond Powerspeech series. It seemed perfect
at first glance, however it is not offered with EEPROM. We plan on
producing these in bunches of 100-500 thus necessitating the EEPROM.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim
