The mark and space frequencies are 1200/1800, 1200/2400 and 2400/4800 Hz respectively. Tone frequencies are phase continuous; transitions occur at the zero crossing point. A common Xtal oscillator with a choice of two clock frequencies (1.008MHz or 4.032MHz) provides baud-rate, transmit frequencies, and Rx and Tx synchronization. The transmitter and receiver operate entirely independently, including the individual section powersave functions. The CMX469A includes on-chip circuitry for Carrier Detect and Rx Clock recovery, both of which are made available as output pins. Rx, Tx and Carrier Detect paths contain bandpass filters to optimise signal conditions in each section of the modem. The CMX469A demonstrates good sensitivity and bit-error-rate under adverse signal conditions. The Carrier Detect time constant is set by an external capacitor, so that the product's performance can be optimised in high noise environments. This low-power device operates from a single supply between 2.7V and 5.5V, requires few external components and is available in a wide variety of plastic packages. 2001 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 1200/2400/4800 Baud FFSK/MSK Modem CMX469A CONTENTS Page Section 1.0 Features and Applications.......................................................................2 1.1 Brief Description .......................................................................................2 1.2 Block Diagram ...........................................................................................4 1.3 Signal List...................................................................................................5 1.4 External Components ...............................................................................7 1.5 General Description ..................................................................................8 1.6 Application Notes......................................................................................9 1.7 Performance Specification.....................................................................10 1.7.1 Electrical Performance..............................................................10 1.7.2 Packaging....................................................................................16 2001 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 3 D/469A/2 1200/2400/4800 Baud FFSK/MSK Modem 1.2 CMX469A Block Diagram Figure 1 Block Diagram 2001 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 4 D/469A/2 1200/2400/4800 Baud FFSK/MSK Modem 1.3 CMX469A Signal List CMX469A D3 E2 P6 Signal Description Pin No. Pin No. Pin No. Name Type 1 1 1 CLOCK/XTAL I/P The input to the on-chip inverter, for use with either a 1.008MHz or a 4.032MHz Xtal or an external clock. Clock frequency selection is by means of the CLOCK RATE pin. This affects the operational data rate of the device. Operation of any CML microcircuit without a Xtal or clock input may cause device damage. 2 2 2 XTALN O/P The output of the on-chip inverter. 3 3 3 Tx SYNC O/P O/P A squarewave, produced on-chip, to synchronize the input of logic data and transmission of the FFSK/MSK signal. 4 5 5 Tx SIGNAL O/P O/P When the transmitter is enabled, this pin outputs the FFSK/MSK signal. With the transmitter disabled, this pin is set to a high-impedance state. 5 7 6 Tx DATA I/P I/P The serial logic data to be transmitted is input to this pin. 6 8 7 Tx ENABLEN I/P A logic `0' will enable the transmitter. A logic `1' at this input will put the transmitter into powersave whilst forcing Tx SYNC OUTPUT to a logic `1' and Tx SIGNAL OUTPUT to a high-impedance state. This pin is internally pulled to VDD. 7 9 8 BANDPASS O/P O/P The output of the Rx Bandpass Filter. This output impedance is typically 10k and may require buffering prior to use. 8 10 9 Rx ENABLE I/P The control of the Rx function 9 11 10 VBIAS BI The output of the on-chip analogue bias circuitry. Held internally at VDD/2, this pin should be decoupled to VSS by a capacitor (C2). This bias voltage is maintained under all powersave conditions. 10 12 11 VSS PWR 11 13 12 UNCLOCKED DATA O/P O/P The recovered asynchronous serial data output from the receiver. 12 14 13 CLOCKED DATA O/P O/P The recovered synchronous serial data output from the receiver.

This input should be coupled via a capacitor, C3. 15 18 17 Rx SYNC O/P O/P A flywheel squarewave output. This clock will synchronize to incoming Rx FFSK/MSK data. 16 19 16 1200/2400 BAUD SELECT I/P A logic `1' on this pin selects the 1200 baud option. Tone frequencies are: one cycle of 1200Hz represents a logic `1,' one-and-a-half cycles of 1800Hz represents a logic `0.' A logic `0' on this pin selects the 2400 baud option. Tone frequencies are: one-half cycle of 1200Hz represents a logic `1,' one cycle of 2400Hz represents a logic `0.' This function is also used, in part, to select the 4800 baud option. This pin has an internal 1M pullup resistor. 17 20 18 4800 BAUD SELECT I/P A logic `1' on this pin combined with a logic `0' on the 1200/2400 BAUD SELECT pin will select the 4800 baud option (1M pulldown resistor). Tone frequencies are: one-half cycle of 2400Hz represents a logic `1,' one cycle of 4800Hz represents a logic `0.' Operation at 4800 baud is only achieved by using a 4.032MHz Xtal or clock. 18 21 19 CLOCK RATE I/P A logic input to select and allow the use of either a 1.008MHz or 4.032MHz Xtal/clock. Logic `1' = 4.032MHz, logic `0' = 1.008MHz. This input has an internal pulldown resistor (1.008MHz). 19 22 20 CARRIER DETECT TIME CONSTANT BI Part of the carrier detect integration function. The value of C4 connected to this pin will affect the carrier detect response time and hence noise performance. 20 24 22 VDD PWR Positive supply rail. A single 2.7 to 5.0 volt supply is required. This pin should be decoupled to VSS by a capacitor (C5). 4, 6, 17, 23 Notes: 4, 21 I/P = Input 2001 Consumer Microcircuits Limited No internal connection, do not use.

VBIAS may be decoupled to VSS and VDD using C2 and C6 when input signals are referenced to the VBIAS pin. For input signals referenced to VSS, decouple VBIAS to VSS using C2 only. 2. The performance of the Carrier Detect function will be affected by the nature of the noise spectrum in the received channel. The value of C4 determines the Carrier Detect Time Constant. A long time constant results in improved noise immunity but increased response time. C4 may be varied to trade-off response time for noise immunity. 3. A 4.032MHz Xtal/clock is required for 4800 Baud operation.

These sections may be independently powersaved. Transmitter The transmitter is enabled by taking Tx EnableN low. Serial data applied to Tx Data Input is sampled internally and an FFSK/MSK sequence is generated. After filtering, this is output at Tx Signal O/P and the transmit clock derived from this signal is output at Tx Sync O/P. Receiver The receiver is enabled by taking Rx Enable high. The signal applied to Rx Signal I/P is filtered and recovered as serial data from the Unclocked Data O/P. A flywheel synchroniser is used to extract a clock from the recovered serial data stream. The clock is available at Rx Sync O/P and the retimed serial data is available at Clocked Data O/P. The integrated peak values of the Rx amplitude are compared with out-of-band noise levels and used to make a signal-to-noise assessment, which is available at Carrier Detect O/P. A Bandpass O/P is also available from the output of the first Rx filter stage, but will require buffering before use. 2001 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 8 D/469A/2 1200/2400/4800 Baud FFSK/MSK Modem 1.6 CMX469A Application Notes Rx Enable The control of the relevant outputs with reference to the Rx Enable input is described below: Rx Enable Rx Function Clock Data O/P Carrier Detect O/P Rx Sync Out `1' Enabled Enabled Enabled Enabled `0' Powersave `0' `1' or `0' `1' or `0' After enabling the Receiver, a time of at least 8 bit periods plus 2ms should be allowed for the Carrier Detect circuit to stabilise and give a valid output.
