Brief Description
The CMX469A is a single-chip CMOS LSI circuit which operates as a full-duplex 1200, 2400 or
4800 baud FFSK/MSK modem. 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.

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

Notes:
1. 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.

CMX469A
General Description
The CMX469A has two sections, apart from the Xtal oscillator circuit and clock dividers. 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.

CML Product Data
In the process of creating a more global image, the three standard product semiconductor
companies of CML Microsystems Plc (Consumer Microcircuits Limited (UK), MX-COM, Inc
(USA) and CML Microcircuits (Singapore) Pte Ltd) have undergone name changes and, whilst
maintaining their separate new names (CML Microcircuits (UK) Ltd, CML Microcircuits (USA)
Inc and CML Microcircuits (Singapore) Pte Ltd), now operate under the single title CML Microcircuits.
These companies are all 100% owned operating companies of the CML Microsystems Plc
Group and these changes are purely changes of name and do not change any underlying legal
entities and hence will have no effect on any agreements or contacts currently in force.
CML Microcircuits Product Prefix Codes
Until the latter part of 1996, the differentiator between products manufactured and sold from
MXCOM, Inc. and Consumer Microcircuits Limited were denoted by the prefixes MX and FX
respectively. These products use the same silicon etc. and today still carry the same prefixes.
In the latter part of 1996, both companies adopted the common prefix: CMX.
