Yamaha YM2612

The YM2612, a.k.a. OPN2, is a sound chip developed by Yamaha. It is a member of Yamaha's OPN family of FM synthesis chips, and is derived from the YM2203.^[1]

The YM2612 is a six-channel FM synthesizer used in several game and computer systems, most notably in Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis video game console^[2] as well as Fujitsu's FM Towns computer series.^[3] It was also available in CMOS form as the YM3438, a.k.a. OPN2C.^[1]

As with the YM3438, it was used by Sega in various arcade game systems, including the Mega-Play, Sega System C and Sega System 32; the YM3438 core was also integrated into an ASIC in later revisions of the Mega Drive/Genesis.
