SID Chips

Here are few infos about the SID Chips

TYP			Notes

TYP			Notes
8580 from MOS or CGS	works with 9V only		22nF Filter capacitor
6582 from MOS or CGS	works with 9V only		22nF Filter capacitor
6581 from MOS or CGS	works with 12V. (PSU Option B ) jumper power to 12V (close to the SID)	can be noisy as hell	470pF Filter cap
ARMSID https://retrocomp.cz/eshop	its a “emulation” of a 6581 or 8580” the mode can be changed in a arduino shield or with a C64. works without 9V/12V – you need no jumper, its powered with 5V directly from the IC Socket.	beautiful sound and not noisy	no capacitor required
TwinSID	works without 9V/12V – you need no jumper, its powered with 5V directly from the IC Socket.	its ok, but very noisy	no capacitor required
KunfuSID, TwinSID, FPGASID	not tested	not tested, but the FPGASID was tested by other MB6582 Users	no capacitor required


6581	21/1982 bis 11/1985	NMOS, Pin 28/Vdd = 12 V DC, je 470 pF an Pins 1+2/3+4
6581R3	42/1985 bis 07/1986
6581R4	16/1986 bis 30/1986
6581R4AR	22/1986 bis 06/1987	Im Vergleich zum R4 wurde die Siliziumqualität des IC geändert
8580R5	06/1987 bis 19/1992	HMOS-II, Pin 28/Vdd = 9 V DC, je 22 nF an Pins 1+2/3+4, Digisound ohne Digifix recht leise	22nF Filter capacitor

you can use: ARMSID (buy 2) or you can buy the ARM2SID with socket and 5cm cable. (which is basically one ARMSID which offer “2 Soundcores”)

Sources for Arduino Shield to configure the ARMSID/ARM2SID with a Arduino Uno R3 and the ARMShield:

or ask me to order and configure, update the ARMSIDs to your needs.
