CX93021/CX20548 CSM92/34/32-SP Serial Modem
ImagingSmart™ Product Brief
Controller-Based Modem with Fourth Generation
SmartDAA® and Speakerphone Support
Product Overview
Conexant's CX93021 serial
modem device paired with the
CX20548 SmartDAA® 4 LSD
(CSM92/34/32-SP) is a fullcontrolled modem that is ideal
for embedded applications such as Internet appliances,
security systems, home/personal monitoring systems, and
other applications that require robust dial-up connectivity
and speakerphone functionality. The speakerphone function
is supported with its own voice CODEC—the CX20542.
The modem supports V.92 data modulation, 14.4kbps
fax modem operation, remote TAM and speakerphone,
V.44/V.42bis/MNP 5 data compression for greater data
throughput, and V.42 LAPM/MNP2-4 error correction
protocol for increased data integrity and reliability. The
device set offers the smallest footprint with space saving
low-profile QFN packages.
The CX93021 modem device integrates an MCU, a
DSP, an internal RAM, an internal ROM, and a
SmartDAA SSD that makes it independent of the host
processor and operating system.
The MCU/DSP performs the command processing, host
interface functions, and telephone line signal
modulation/demodulation, which minimizes the
computational load on the host processor. The modem
executes from the internal ROM, but also features
internal RAM memory that enhances the modem's
flexibility. The modem's internal RAM can be used to
load new country profiles, override existing country
profiles, or add customized firmware code. Additionally,
the modem supports an optional external serial
NVRAM, which adds the convenience of permanent
storage. Just like internal RAM, NVRAM can be used to
store new country profiles, override existing ones, or
add customized firmware code.
Conexant's SmartDAA 4 LSD builds on three
generations of market leading silicon DAA devices, and
eliminates the need for costly analog transformers,
relays, and opto-isolators typically used in discrete DAA
implementation for country-specific modem
configurations.
The SmartDAA 4 LSD is system-powered, making it the
most reliable and best performing silicon DAA in the
market. The SmartDAA 4 LSD also adds enhanced
telephony extension features to the modem's operation
and other functions, such as call waiting detection and
CID decoding.
Incorporating Conexant's proprietary DIB design and
other innovative DAA features, the SmartDAA 4
architecture simplifies application design and minimizes
the layout area. The result is a worldwide reduced
system cost solution using a single BOM.
The optional CX20542 voice CODEC enables the FDSP
operation as well as other voice/TAM applications. The
speakerphone mode features Conexant's advanced
proprietary speakerphone algorithm, which supports
full-duplex voice conversation with acoustic, line, and
handset echo cancellation to ensure clean and noisefree voice quality.
The feature-rich CSM modem with its reduced voltage
operation and low-power consumption make this device
set an ideal solution for embedded applications.
