The '''Yamaha YMF262''', also known as the '''OPL3''' (OPL is an acronym for FM Operator Type-L), is an [[Frequency modulation synthesis|FM synthesis]] sound chip by [[Yamaha Corporation|Yamaha]]. It is an improved version of the [[Yamaha YM3812]] (OPL2).
 
The YMF262 was used in many ISA<ref group="note">[[soundhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industry_Standard_Architecture cardIndustry Standard Architecture]]s, an I/O bus standard for IBM-compatible PC motherboards.</ref> sound cards, including the Sound Blaster Pro 2.0, Sound Blaster 16 ASP and AWE family.<ref name="midibox">[http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=mbhp_opl3.html MIDIbox Hardware Platform, OPL3 Module]</ref>
 
The OPL3 generates four channel audio as two 16-bit serial data streams. These data streams are designed as input for the [[YAC512]] [[Digital-to-analog converter|DAC]].<ref name="data sheet"> [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20030520163334/http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~arnost/opl/lost+found/ymf262.pdf YMF262 data sheet], November 1994</ref>
