The Yamaha YM3812 also known as the OPL2 (OPL is an acronym for FM Operator Type-L) is a sound chip (i.e.
integrated circuit) created by Yamaha Corporation and famous for its wide use in IBM PC-based sound cards such as the AdLib and Sound Blaster.
Each oscillator can produce sine waves which may also be modified into 3 other waveforms - the negative part of the sine can be muted or inverted, and pseudo sawtooth waves (1/4 sine waves upward only with silent sections in between) can also be produced.

It was essentially a Yamaha FB-01 on a card (much how the Roland LAPC-1 is an MT-32 module on a card) and inherited all of the FB-01's properties: 8 FM voices, stereo-pannable, and each voice was controlled by four operators instead of Adlib's two.
It had an extensive built-in library of over 300 high-quality synthesized instruments ("classic Yamaha" as many have called it).

Historically, the "chips" used were sound chips like the analog-digital hybrid Atari POKEY on the Atari 400/800, the MOS Technology SID on the Commodore 64, the Yamaha YM2149 on the Atari ST, MSX and ZX Spectrum, the Yamaha YM3812 on IBM PC compatibles, and the Ricoh 2A03 on the Nintendo Entertainment System or Famicom.
For the MSX several sound upgrades, such as the Konami SCC, the Yamaha YM2413 (MSX-MUSIC) and Yamaha Y8950 (MSX-AUDIO, predecessor of the OPL3) and the OPL4-based Moonsound were released as well, each having its own characteristic chiptune sound.
Also, even with purely sample-based formats, such as the MOD format, chip sounds created by looping very small samples still could take up much less space.
