Brief Description
The CMX138A is a half-duplex, audio scrambler and sub-audio signalling processor IC for Analogue Twoway Radio applications. This makes it a suitable device for the leisure radio markets (FRS, MURS,
PMR446 and GMRS).
This device provides a user programmable frequency inversion audio scrambler, companding and pre/deemphasis – performing simultaneous processing of Sub-audio and In-band signalling.
Other features include an auxiliary ADC channel and an auxiliary DAC interface (with optional RAMDAC,
to facilitate transmitter power ramping).
The device has flexible powersaving modes and is available in a 28-pin (E1) TSSOP package.

R2 and R3 should be selected to provide the desired dc gain of the discriminator input, as follows:
GAINDISC = R2 / R3
The gain should be such that the resultant output at the DISCFB pin is within the discriminator input
signal range specified in 7.11.2. If the DISCN2 pin is selected the gain becomes:
GAINDISC = R2 / (R3//R4)
(assuming that R3 and R4 are both connected to the same input signal).
3
R5, R6, R7 and R8 should be selected to provide the desired dc gain of the microphone input.
The gain should be such that the resultant output at the MICFB pin is within the microphone input
signal range specified in 7.11.1. For optimum performance with low signal microphones, an additional
external gain stage may be required. C6 and C7 should be chosen to maintain a flat low pass
response up to 3kHz.
If a single-ended microphone is used, then R6 should be connected to VBIAS and R5 deleted.
R1 and C1 should be chosen to maintain a flat low pass response up to 3kHz.
R9 and C8 should be chosen to maintain a flat low pass response up to 3kHz.
4
If the DISC input is ac coupled, the selection of the coupling capacitor should allow for frequencies
from below 50Hz and up to 3kHz to be passed without significant distortion to allow both Audio and
sub-audio decoders to function within their specification.
5
If the MIC input is dc coupled, the selection of the coupling capacitor should allow for frequencies
from 300Hz and up to 3kHz to be passed without significant distortion to allow the audio filtering and
processing to function within their specification.

Figure 3 CMX138A Power Supply Connections and De-coupling
Notes:
1. It is important to protect the analogue pins from extraneous in-band noise and to minimise the
impedance between the device and the supply and bias de-coupling capacitors. The de-coupling
capacitors should be as close as possible to the device. It is therefore recommended that the printed
circuit board is laid out with separate ground planes for the AVSS, and DVSS supplies in the area of the
CMX138A, with provision to make links between them, close to the device. Use of a multi-layer printed
circuit board will facilitate the provision of ground planes on separate layers.
2. VBIAS is used as an internal reference for detecting and generating the various analogue signals. It
must be carefully decoupled, to ensure its integrity, so apart from the decoupling capacitor shown, no
other loads should be connected. If VBIAS needs to be used to set the discriminator mid-point
reference, it must be buffered with a high input-impedance buffer.

CMX138A
General Description
The CMX138A is intended for use in half duplex analogue two way mobile radio or family radio equipment
and is particularly suited to enhanced MURS/GMRS/FRS designs. The CMX138A provides a user
programmable frequency inversion audio scrambler integrated with signal processing functions, CTCSS,
DCS and in-band tones, permitting sophisticated levels of tone control and voice processing. A flexible
power control facility allows the device to be placed in its optimum powersave mode when not actively
processing signals.
The CMX138A includes a crystal clock generator, with buffered output, to provide a common system clock
if required. A block diagram of the CMX138A is shown in Figure 1.
The signal processing blocks are assigned to particular inputs/outputs. A facility to completely bypass the
device is provided (with programmable gain).

CMX138A
Detailed Descriptions
Xtal Frequency
The CMX138A is designed to work with a Xtal or external frequency source of 6.144MHz or 3.6864MHz
(as selected by the state of the CLKSEL pin). If either of these default configurations is not suitable, then
Program Register Block 3 should to be loaded with the correct values to ensure that the device will work to
specification with the user specified clock frequency. A table of common values can be found in Table 2.
Note the maximum Xtal frequency is 12.288MHz, although an external clock source of up to 24.576MHz
can be used.
The register values in Table 2 are shown in hex (however only the lower 10 bits are relevant), the default
settings are shown in bold, and the settings which do not give an exact setting (but are within acceptable
limits) are in italics. The new P3.2-3 settings take effect following the write to P3.3 (the settings in P3.4-7
are implemented on a change to Rx or Tx mode). Check that the PRG flag is set in the Status register
($C6 bit 0 is set to '1') before writing each new P3.2 – P3.7 value via the Programming register ($C8). If a
default frequency is not used, the register values in Table 2 should be programmed into the CMX138A
immediately after power-up.

Host Interface
A serial data interface (C-BUS) is used for command, status and data transfers between the CMX138A
and the host µC; this interface is compatible with microwire, SPI. Interrupt signals notify the host µC when
a change in status has occurred and the µC should read the status register across the C-BUS and
respond accordingly. Interrupts only occur if the appropriate mask bit has been set. See section 8.1.1.
The device will monitor the state of the C-BUS registers that the host has written to every 250µs (the CBUS latency period) hence it is not advisable for the host to make successive writes to the same C-BUS
register within this period.
To minimise activity on the C-BUS interface, optimise response times and ensure reliable data transfers, it
is advised that the IRQ facility be utilised (using the IRQ mask register, $CE). It is permissible for the host
to poll the IRQ pin if the host uC does not support a fully interrupt-driven architecture. This removes the
need to continually poll the C-BUS status register ($C6) for status changes.
7.2.1 C-BUS Operation
This block provides for the transfer of data and control or status information between the CMX138A’s
internal registers and the host µC over the C-BUS serial interface. Each transaction consists of a single
 2014 CML Microsystems Plc
Page 13
D/138A/4
Audio Scrambler and Sub-Audio Signalling Processor
CMX138A
Address byte sent from the µC which may be followed by one or more Data byte(s) sent from the µC to be
written into one of the CMX138A’s Write Only registers, or one or more data byte(s) read out from one of
the CMX138A’s Read Only registers, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Data sent from the µC on the CDATA line is clocked into the CMX138A on the rising edge of the SCLK
input. RData sent from the CMX138A to the µC is valid when the SCLK is high. The CSN line must be
held low during a data transfer and kept high between transfers. The C-BUS interface is compatible with
most common µC serial interfaces and may also be easily implemented with general purpose µC I/O pins
controlled by a simple software routine.
The number of data bytes following an Address byte is dependent on the value of the Address byte. The
most significant bit of the address or data are sent first. For detailed timings see section 11.2. Note that,
due to internal timing constraints, there may be a delay of up to 250µs between the end of a C-BUS write
operation and the CMX138A responding to the C-BUS command. Ensure that this C-BUS latency time (up
to 250µs) is observed when writing multiple commands to the same C-BUS register.

Device Control
CMX138A can be set into many modes to suit the environment in which it is to be used. These modes are
described in the following sections and are programmed over the C-BUS: either directly to operational
registers or, for parameters that are not likely to change during operation, via the Programming register
($C8).
For basic operation:
1. Enable the relevant hardware sections via the Power Down Control register
2. Set the appropriate mode registers to the desired state (Audio, In-band, Sub-Audio etc.)
3. Select the required Signal Routing and Gain
4. Use the Mode Control register to place the device into Rx or Tx mode
To conserve power when the device is not actively processing an analogue signal, place the device into
Idle mode. Additional powersaving can be achieved by disabling the unused hardware blocks, however,
care must be taken not to disturb any sections that are automatically controlled.

7.3.1 Signal Routing
The CMX138A offers a flexible routing architecture, with two signal inputs, a single signal processing path
with an optional bypass and both Tx Modulation and Audio outputs. Each of the signalling processing
blocks is routed directly to the appropriate input and output blocks.

7.3.2 Mode Control
The CMX138A operates in one of three modes:
o Idle
o Rx
o Tx
At power-on or following a Reset, the device will automatically enter Idle mode, which allows for the
maximum powersaving whilst still retaining the capability of monitoring the AuxADC input (if enabled). It is
only possible to write to the Programming register whilst in Idle mode.

Audio Functions
The audio signal can be processed in several ways, depending on the implementation required, by
selecting the relevant bits in the Audio Control – $C2 write register. In both Rx and Tx, a selectable
channel filter to suit either the 12.5kHz or 25kHz TIA/ETSI channel mask can be selected. This filter also
incorporates a selectable hard or soft limiter to reduce the effects of over-modulation. Other features
include 300Hz HPF, pre- and de-emphasis, companding and frequency inversion scrambling, all of which
may be individually enabled. The order in which these features are executed is selectable to ensure
compatibility with existing implementations and provide optimal performance (see section 9.2.5).
7.4.1 Audio Receive Mode
The CMX138A operates in half duplex, so whilst in receive mode the transmit path (microphone input and
modulator output amplifiers) can be disabled and powered down. The audio output signal level is
equalised (to VBIAS) before switching between the audio port and the modulator ports, to minimise
unwanted audible transients. In the powersave state, the audio output pin enters a hi-Z state, however, if
left enabled and the preceding stages powersaved, it will be driven to the VBIAS level.
See:
o
Audio Control – $C2 write.
Receiving Audio Band Signals
When a voice-based signal is being received, it is up to the host µC, in response to signal status
information provided by the CMX138A, to control muting/enabling of the audio signal to the AUDIO output.
The discriminator path through the device has a programmable gain stage. Whilst in receive mode this
should normally be set to 0dB (the default) gain.
Receive Filtering
The incoming signal is filtered, as shown in Figure 6 (with the 300Hz HPF also active), to remove subaudio components and to minimise high frequency noise. When appropriate, the audio signal can then be
routed to the AUDIO output. Separate selectable filters are available for:

300Hz High Pass (to reject sub-audible signalling)

2.55kHz Low Pass (for 12.5kHz channel operation)

3.0kHz Low Pass (for 25kHz channel operation)
Note that with no filters selected, the low frequency response extends to below 5Hz at the low end but still
rolls off above 3.3kHz at the top end.

De-emphasis
Optional de-emphasis at -6dB per octave from 300Hz to 3000Hz (shown in Figure 7) can be selected, to
facilitate compliance with TIA/EIA-603, EN 300 086, EN 301 025 etc. The template shows the +1, -3dB
limits.
Rx Companding (Expanding)
The CMX138A incorporates an optional syllabic compandor in both transmit and receive modes. This
expands received audio band signals that have been similarly compressed in the transmitter to enhance
dynamic range. See section 7.4.3 and:
o
Audio Control – $C2 write.
Audio De-scrambling
The CMX138A incorporates an optional frequency inversion de-scrambler in receive mode. This descrambles received audio band signals that have been scrambled in the transmitter. The inversion
frequency can be programmed using the Scramble Frequency register, $CB. The default value is 3300Hz.
See:
o
o
Audio Control – $C2 write
Scrambler Inversion Frequency – $CB write.
7.4.2 Audio Transmit Mode
The device operates in half duplex, so when the device is in transmit mode the receive path (discriminator
and audio output amplifiers) should be disabled, and can be powered down, by the host µC.
A single modulator output with programmable gain is provided which combines both the audio and subaudio signals to facilitate single or two-point modulation.
To avoid spurious transmissions when changing from Rx to Tx the MOD output is ramped to the quiescent
modulator output level, VBIAS before switching. Similarly, when starting a transmission, the transmitted
signal is ramped up from the quiescent VBIAS level and when ending a transmission the transmitted signal
is ramped down to the quiescent VBIAS level. The ramp rates are set in the Programming register P4.6 and
enabled by bits 0,1 of the Analogue Input Gain register. When the modulator output is disabled, their
outputs will be set to VBIAS. When the modulator output driver is powered down, its output will enter a hi-Z
state (high impedance), so the external RF modulator should be disabled to avoid unwanted
transmissions.
For all transmissions, the host µC must only enable signals after the appropriate data and settings for
those signals are loaded into the C-BUS registers. As soon as any signalling is enabled the CMX138A will
use the settings to control the way information is transmitted.
A programmable gain stage in the microphone input path facilitates a host controlled VOGAD capability.
See:
o
o
Audio Control – $C2 write
Analogue Input Gain - $B0 write.
Processing Audio Signals for Transmission over Analogue Channels
The microphone input, with programmable gain, can be selected as the audio input source. Pre-emphasis
is selectable with either of the two analogue Tx audio filters (for 12.5kHz and 25kHz channel spacing).
These are designed for use in EN 300 086, TIA/EIA-603 or EN 301 025 compliant applications. When the
300Hz HPF is enabled, it will attenuate sub-audio frequencies below 250Hz by more than 33dB with
respect to the signal level at 1kHz.
These filters, together with a built in limiter, help ensure compliance with EN 300 086 and EN 301 025
(25kHz and 12.5kHz channel spacing) when levels and gain settings are set up correctly in the target
system. The channel filters incorporate a soft-limiter function by default, however, should a hard-limiter be
required, this can be enabled by setting bit 13 of Program Register P4.9 (see section 9.2.5). The level at
which the limiter starts to operate can also be adjusted using Program Register P4.7 (see section 9.2.5).

Input AGC
An Automatic Gain Control system can be enabled by setting the relevant bits of the Program register
P4.9. The setting of the Input 1 Gain stage is recorded when the device enters Tx mode and if the signal
exceeds the pre-set threshold, the Input 1 Gain is automatically reduced in 3.2dB steps until it falls within
the operational levels or the range of the gain stage is exhausted. When the signal level drops, the gain
will be automatically increased in 3.2dB steps at the rate set in P4.9 until the initial value has been
reached. For maximum effect the system should be designed such that the +22.4dB setting of the Input 1
Gain stage achieves the nominal levels. To ensure consistent operation, it is recommended that the
Input 1 Gain stage value be re-initialised before entering Tx mode. The signal that is used as an input to
this process can be selected to be either:
o Output of Input1 gain stage
o Output of the Pre-emphasis filter.
by selecting the relevant bit in P4.9. The Pre-emphasis option should only be chosen if this block is
actually in use.

7.4.3 Audio Compandor
The compandor is comprised of a compressor and an expandor. The compressor’s function is to reduce
the dynamic range of a given signal by attenuating larger amplitudes while amplifying smaller amplitudes.
The expandor’s function is to expand the dynamic range of a given signal by attenuating small amplitude
signals (e.g. noise) while amplifying large amplitude signals. The compressor is used prior to transmission
and the expandor is used in the receiver. Hence, using a compandor will enhance performance in a
communication system by transmitting a compressed signal, which is less likely to be corrupted by noise,
and then at the receiver expanding the compressed signal, which will push the noise picked up during
transmission down further.
The CMX138A uses a “syllabic compandor.” This type of compandor, as opposed to the instantaneous
compandor (e.g. µ/A-law PCM), responds to changes in the average envelope of the signal amplitude
according to a syllabic time constant . Typically, the steady state output for the compressor is proportional
to the square root of the input signal, i.e: for a 2 dB change in input signal, the output change will be 1 dB.
Generally for voice communication systems a compressor is expected to have an input dynamic range of
60 dB, providing an output dynamic range of 30 dB. The expandor does the inverse.

Sub-audio Signalling
Sub-audio signalling is available in the audio band below 260Hz. When sub-audio signalling is enabled,
the 300Hz HPF in the audio section should also be enabled to remove the sub-audio signalling from the
audio signal (in both Tx and Rx). Both CTCSS tones and DCS codes are supported, as well as a special
Tone Clone™ mode which will report back any received CTCSS tone rather than look for a specific tone.
There are 51 CTCSS tones defined in the CMX138A and there is provision for a user-specified tone. In Tx
only, tone phase adjustment (180 or 120 degrees) to implement “Reverse Tone Burst” for squelch tail
elimination can be accomplished by setting b9, b8 of the Audio Control register, $C2.
The DCS coder/decoder supports both 23- and 24-bit modes with both true and inverse modulation
formats and the 134Hz end of transmission burst.
The CTCSS tone and DCS code values for both Rx and Tx operation are specified in the Audio Control
register ($C2), in the lowest 8 bits (shown in decimal):

the host can turn the functionality on or off without having to re-program the values in the Audio Control
register, $C2.

7.5.1 Receiving and Decoding CTCSS Tones
The CMX138A is able to accurately detect valid CTCSS tones quickly, to avoid losing the beginning of
audio or data transmissions, and is able to continuously monitor the detected tone with minimal probability
of falsely dropping out. The received signal is filtered in accordance with the template shown in Figure 13,
to prevent signals outside the sub-audio range from interfering with the sub-audio tone detection.

Figure 13 Low Pass Sub-audio Band Filter for CTCSS and DCS
Once a valid CTCSS tone has been detected, Status register ($C6) b11 will be set and the host µC can
then route the audio band signal to the audio output. The audio band signal is extracted from the received
signal by bandpass filtering as shown in Figure 6.
To optimise the CTCSS tone decoder, adjustable decoder bandwidths and threshold levels allow the user
to trade-off decode certainty against signal-to-noise performance when congestion or range restrict the
system performance. The tone decoder bandwidth and threshold level are set in P2.1 of the Programming
register ($C8) and the desired tone is programmed in the Audio Control register ($C2). In systems which
make use of tones 41 to 51 or other “split” tones (tones in between the frequencies of tones 1 to 40), the
CTCSS decoder bandwidth should be reduced to avoid false detection of adjacent tones.
When enabled, an interrupt will be issued when an input signal matching a CTCSS tone in Table 3
changes state (ie: on, off or to or from a different tone). If a sub-audio tone is present, but it is not one of
the valid CTCSS tones (as shown in Table 3), then it will be reported as an unrecognised tone. If a tone
other than the programmed tone is detected, it will be reported as an Invalid tone, unless Tone Cloning is
enabled, in which case it will report the detected tone number. Note that CTCSS phase changes are not
detected. If enabled, an IRQ will be generated under the following conditions:

Tone Cloning
™
Tone Cloning facilitates the detection of CTCSS tones 1 to 39 in receive mode which allows the device to
non-predictively detect any tone in this range. This mode is activated by programming CTCSS Tone
Number 00 (b0-7 of Audio Control register = 200 decimal). The received tone number will be reported in
the Tone Status register ($CC) and can then be programmed into the Audio Control register by the host
µC. The cloned tone will only be active when CTCSS is enabled in the Mode Control register ($C1). This
setting has no effect in Tx mode and the CTCSS generator will output no signal.

Tone Cloning™ should not be used in systems where tones 41 to 51 or other “split” tones (tones between
the frequencies of tones 1 to 40) may be received. The all-call tone 40 can still be used after Tone
Cloning™ has been performed. The CTCSS decoder detection bandwidth should be set to its lowest value
(in P2.1 of the Programming Register) to ensure accurate detection.
CTCSS Tones
Table 3 lists the CTCSS tones available, the tone numbers and the equivalent (decimal) values that need
to be programmed into b7-0 of the Audio Control register ($C2) and which will be reported back in the
Tone Status register ($CC).
Notes
1. Register value 00 in b0-7 of the Tone Status register ($CC) indicates that none of the above subaudio tones is being detected. If register value 00 is programmed into the Audio Control register
($C2) and CTCSS enabled in the Mode Control register ($C1), only CTCSS tone 40 (240 decimal)
will be scanned for. If CTCSS transmit is selected, this tone setting will cause the CTCSS
generator to output no signal.
2. Tone number 40 (240 decimal) provides an all-user CTCSS tone option; regardless of the subaudio tones set, the CMX138A will report the presence of this tone whenever the CTCSS detector
is enabled. This feature is useful for implementing emergency type calls e.g. All-Call.
3. Tone number 55 (255 decimal) is reported in the Tone Status register ($CC), when CTCSS
receive is enabled and a sub-audio tone is detected that does not correspond to the selected tone
or the all-call tone (tone number 40). This could be a tone in the sub-audio band which is not in the
table or a tone in the table which is not the selected tone or All-Call tone.
4. Tones 40 to 51 (240 to 251 decimal) are not in the TIA-603 standard.
5. Tone number 52 (252 decimal) will select the User Programmable Tone value in Program Block 2
– CTCSS and DCS Setup.
6. Tone number 53 (253 decimal) will select the XTCSS call maintenance tone, 64.7Hz.
7. Tone number 54 (254 decimal) will select the DCS turn-off tone, 134.4Hz.
8. Tone Clone, register value 200, is a write-only value to the Audio Control register ($C2). It will not
be reported back in the Tone Status register ($CC). Instead, the received tone number is reported
back in this register.
7.5.2 Receiving and Decoding DCS Codes
DCS code is in NRZ format and transmitted at 134.40.4bps. The CMX138A is able to decode any 23- or
24-bit pattern in either of the two DCS modulation modes defined by TIA/EIA-603 and described in Table
4. The CMX138A can detect a valid DCS code quickly enough to avoid losing the beginning of audio
transmissions.

B

The CMX138A detects the DCS code that matches the programmed code defined in the Audio Control
register ($C2) in either its true or inverted form. Register values 1 to 83 correspond to modulation type A
(“true”) and register values 101 to 183 correspond to modulation type B (“inverted”). A facility for a userdefined code is available via Program Block 2 – CTCSS and DCS Setup. The signal inversion caused by
the input amplifier is automatically compensated for in the device, so that a true DCS signal applied at its
input will be decoded as a true code in the Tone Status register ($CC). Note that monitoring this signal at
the DISCFB pin will show an inverted waveform.
To detect the pre-programmed DCS code, the signal is low-pass filtered to suppress all but the sub-audio
band, using the filter shown in Figure 13. Further equalisation filtering, signal slicing and level detection
are performed to extract the code being received. The extracted code is then matched with the

Audio Scrambler and Sub-Audio Signalling Processor
CMX138A
programmed 23- or 24-bit DCS code to be recognised, in the order least significant first through to most
significant DCS code bit last. Table 5 shows a selection of valid 23-bit DCS codes: this does not preclude
other codes being programmed. Recognition of a valid DCS code will be flagged if the decode is
successful (3 or less errors) by setting b10 of the Status register ($C6) to 1. A failure to decode is
indicated by clearing this bit to 0. This bit is updated after the decoding of every 4th bit of the incoming
signal. The actual code received is reported back in the Tone Status register ($CC) according to Table 3,
so that the host µC can determine if it was the true or inverted form of the code.
Once a valid DCS code has been detected, the host µC can route the audio band signal to the audio
output. The audio signal is extracted from the received input signal by band pass filtering, see Figure 6.
The end of DCS transmissions is indicated by a 134.4 0.5Hz tone for 150-200ms. When a valid DCS
code has been detected, the CMX138A will automatically scan for the turn-off tone. When the DCS turn-off
tone is detected it will cause a DCS interrupt and report tone 54 (Tone Status b0-7 value 254 decimal); the
receiver audio output can then be muted by the host. Note that, due to the asynchronous nature of the
turn-off tone, it is possible for both a “no-tone” and a “turn-off” tone to be indicated at the end of a DCS
transmission. Note that DCS detection and CTCSS detection can not be performed concurrently.

7.5.3 Transmit CTCSS Tone
The sub-audio CTCSS tone generated is defined in the Audio Control register ($C2). Table 3 lists the
CTCSS tones and the corresponding decimal values for programming b0-7 of the register. To facilitate
Squelch Tail elimination and Reverse Tone Burst, the phase of the transmitted tone can be altered by
either 120, 180 or 240 degrees by setting b9, b8 in the Audio Control register ($C2). The phase change is
not instantaneous, but implemented by retarding the phase of the tone to its new value over a number of
cycles to avoid the generation of spurious signals. A 180 degree change will be completed within 20ms.
7.5.4 Transmit DCS Code
A 23- or 24-bit sub-audio DCS code can be generated, as defined by the Audio Control register ($C2). The
same DCS code pattern is used for detection and transmission. The DCS code is NRZ encoded at
134.40.4 bps, low-pass filtered and added to the audio band signal, before being passed to the modulator
output stages. Valid 23-bit DCS codes and the corresponding settings for the Audio Control Register are
shown in Table 5, and include a user-defined facility. The least significant bit of the DCS code is
transmitted first and the most significant bit is transmitted last. The CMX138A is able to encode and
transmit either of the two DCS modulation modes defined by TIA/EIA-603 (true and inverted) described in
Table 4. If 24-bit mode is required, bit 11 of Programming register P2.1 should be set. The MOD output
inverts the signal from the device, so, depending on the detailed design of the following modulator
sections, it may be necessary to select an inverted DCS code in the Audio Control register ($C2) in order
to produce a true DCS code "on-air".
To signal the end of the DCS transmission, the host should set the Audio Control register ($C2) to the
DCS turn off tone (register value b0-7 = 254 decimal) for 150ms to 200ms. After this time period has
elapsed the host should then disable DCS in the Mode Control register ($C1). Note that if a CTCSS tone is
to be transmitted following the DCS turn-off tone (in a subsequent transmission) the new CTCSS value will
need to be written to the Audio Control register ($C2) immediately after the selection of Tx mode.
7.6
In-band Signalling – User Tones
The CMX138A supports a user-programmable in-band tone between 288Hz and 3000Hz. Note that if a
tone below 400Hz is used, sub-audio signalling should be disabled and the 300Hz HPF disabled.
By default, the CMX138A will use a 1750Hz tone, however this may be changed by the host to any valid
tone within its operational range by use of the Programming register. This ensures that the device can
remain compatible with all available tone systems in use. The CMX138A does not implement automatic
repeat tone insertion or deletion: it is up to the host to correctly implement the appropriate protocol.
Selection of the In-band signalling mode is performed by bits 10-9 of the Mode register ($C1). Detection of
the selected In-band signalling mode can be performed in parallel with audio or data reception.

7.6.1 Receiving and Decoding In-band Tone
In-band tones can be used to flag the start of a call or to confirm the end of a call. If they occur during a
call the tone may be audible at the receiver. When a valid input signal is detected, it will be reported in the
Tone Status register, $CC. If the input signal matches the In-band tone value then b15 will be set (tone
detected), otherwise b14-11 will be set (unrecognised tone) – see Table 6. If enabled, an IRQ will be
generated as shown below:

Adjustable decoder bandwidths and threshold levels are programmable via the Programming register.
These allow certainty of detection to be traded against signal to noise performance when congestion or
range limits the system performance. The in-band signal is derived from the received input signal after the
bandpass filtering shown in Figure 6.

7.6.2 Transmitting In-band Tone
The In-band tone to be generated is defined in the TX TONE register ($C3). The tone level is set in the
Programming register (P1.0). The In-band tone must be transmitted without other signals in the audio
band, so the host µC must disable the audio path prior to initiating transmission of an In-band tone and
restore it after the In-band tone transmission is complete.
7.7
Auxiliary ADC Operation
The input to the Auxiliary ADC is routed through an inverting op-amp from the AuxADC input pin under
control of the AuxADC and Tx MOD mode register, $A7. Conversions will be performed as long as the
input source is selected; to stop the ADC, the input source should be set to “none”. Register $C0, b6
(BIAS) must be enabled for Auxiliary ADC operation.
Averaging can be applied to the ADC readings by selecting the relevant bits in the Signal Routing register,
$A7, the length of the averaging is determined by the value in the Programming register (P3.0), and
defaults to a value of 0. This is a rolling average system such that a proportion of the current data will be
added to the last average value. The proportion is determined by the value of the average counter in P3.0,
as follows:
For an average value of:
0 = 50% of the current value will be added to 50% of the last average value,
1 = 25% of the current value will be added to 75% of the last average value
2 = 12.5% etc.
The maximum useful value of this field is 8. For a step input signal, this provides an exponential-style
response in the output data.
High and low thresholds may be independently applied to the ADC channel (the comparison is applied
after averaging, if this is enabled) and b8 of the IRQ Status register ($C6) will be set (and an IRQ
generated, if enabled) whenever the signal crosses above the High threshold or below the Low threshold
(except in the case where the high threshold has been set below the low threshold). The threshold status
can be determined from b15 and b14 of the AuxADC data register ($A9). The thresholds are programmed
via the AuxADC Threshold register ($B5). Auxiliary ADC data is read back in the AuxADC Data register
($A9) and includes the threshold status as well as the actual conversion data (subject to averaging, if
enabled). Note that the thresholds are inverted due to the op-amp on the AuxADC input pin.

Auxiliary DAC/RAMDAC Operation
The Auxiliary DAC channel is programmed via the AuxDAC Control register, $A8. AuxDAC may also be
programmed to operate as a RAMDAC which will automatically output a pre-programmed profile at a
programmed rate. The AuxDAC Control register, $A8, with b12 set, controls this mode of operation. The
default profile is a raised cosine (see Table 11), but this may be over-written with a user defined profile by
writing to Programming register P3.11. The RAMDAC operation is only available in Tx mode and, to avoid
glitches in the ramp profile, it is important not to change to Idle or Rx mode whilst the RAMDAC is still
ramping. The AuxDAC output holds the user-programmed level during a powersave operation if left
enabled, otherwise it will return to zero.

Figure 15 Digital Clock Generation Schemes
The CMX138A includes a two-pin crystal oscillator circuit. This can either be configured as an oscillator, as
shown in Figure 2, or the XTAL input can be driven by an externally generated clock. The crystal (Xtal)
source frequency can go up to 12.288MHz (clock source frequency up to 24.576MHz), but a 6.144MHz or
3.6864MHz Xtal is assumed for the default functionality provided in the CMX138A (see section 7.1).
7.9.1 Main Clock Operation
A PLL is used to create the Main Clock (nominally 24.576MHz) for the internal sections of the CMX138A.
At the same time, other internal clocks are generated by division of either the XTAL Reference Clock or
the Main Clock. These internal clocks are used for determining the sample rates and conversion times of
A-to-D and D-to-A converters, running a General Purpose Timer and the signal processing block. It should
be noted that in Idle mode the setting of the GP Timer divider directly affects the C-BUS latency (with the
default values this is nominally 250μs).
The CMX138A defaults to the settings appropriate for a 6.144MHz or 3.6864MHz Xtal, however if other
frequencies are to be used (to facilitate commonality of Xtals between the external RF synthesizers and
the CMX138A for instance) then the Program Block registers P3.2 to P3.7 will need to be programmed
appropriately at power-on. A table of common values is provided in Table 2. The C-BUS registers $BC and
$BD are controlled automatically and must not be accessed directly by the user.
See:
o
Program Block 3 – AuxDAC, RAMDAC and Clock Control:
7.9.2 System Clock Operation
A System Clock output, SysClock1 Out, is available to drive additional circuits, as required. This is a
phase locked loop (PLL) clock that can be programmed via the System Clock registers with suitable
values chosen by the user. The System Clock PLL Configure register ($AB) controls the values of the
VCO Output divider and Main Divide registers, while the System Clock Ref. Configure register ($AC)
controls the values of the Reference Divider and signal routing configurations. The PLL is designed for a
reference frequency of 96kHz. If not required, this clock can be independently powersaved. The clock
generation scheme is shown in the block diagram of Figure 15. Note that at power-on the System Clock
output is turned off and the output is held at '0'.

7.10 GPIO
Two pins on the CMX138A are provided for Rx and Tx Enables. These pins become active low when the
device enters the appropriate mode. These can be used for driving external circuitry and have the
advantage of having minimal delay from the activation of the selected mode and so are not dependant
upon any delays due to the transfer of commands / data over the C-BUS.

7.11 Signal Level Optimisation
The internal signal processing of the CMX138A will operate with wide dynamic range and low distortion
only if the signal level at all stages in the signal processing chain is kept within the recommended limits.
For a device working from a 3.3V ±10% supply, the maximum signal level which can be accommodated
without distortion is [(3.3 x 90%) – (2 x 0.3V)] Volts pk-pk = 838mV rms, assuming a sine wave signal.
Compared to the reference level of 308mV rms, this is a signal of +8.69dB. This should not be exceeded
at any stage.
7.11.1 Transmit Path Levels
For the maximum undistorted signal out of the MOD attenuator, the signal level at the output of the
Analogue block should not exceed +8.69dB, assuming both fine and coarse output attenuators are set to a
gain of 0dB. The sub-audio level is normally set to 31mV rms ±1.0dB, which means that the output from
the soft limiter must not exceed 803mV rms. If pre-emphasis is used, an output signal at 3000Hz will have
three times the amplitude of a signal at 1000Hz, so the signal level before pre-emphasis should not
exceed 268mV rms. If the compressor is also used, its ‘knee’ is at 100mV rms, which would allow a signal
into the compressor of 718mV rms, which is less than the maximum signal level. The Fine Input Gain
adjustment has a maximum attenuation of 3.5dB and no gain, whereas the Coarse Input Gain adjustment
has a variable gain of up to +22.4dB and no attenuation. If the highest gain setting were used, then the
maximum allowable input signal level at the MICFB pin would be 54mV rms. With the lowest gain setting
(0dB), the maximum allowable input signal level at the MICFB pin would be 718mV rms.
In some applications where there is a requirement for the system to operate with a significant overload on
the MIC input (+20dB) an external limiter may be required to ensure that the signal input does not exceed
the recommended CMX138A input levels. This can result in significant harmonic content (above 6kHz)
that should be removed by suitable input filtering.
7.11.2 Receive Path Levels
For the maximum undistorted signal out of the audio attenuator, the signal level at the output of the
Analogue Routing block should not exceed +8.69dB, assuming both fine and coarse output attenuators
are set to a gain of 0dB. In this case, there is no sub-audio signal to be added, so the maximum signal
level remains at 838mV rms. If de-emphasis is used, an output signal at 300Hz will have three and a third
times the amplitude of a signal at 1000Hz, so the signal level before de-emphasis should not exceed
251mV rms. If the expander is also used, its ‘knee’ is at 100mV rms, which would allow a signal into the
expander of 158mV rms. The Fine Input Gain adjustment has a maximum attenuation of 3.5dB and no
gain, whereas the Coarse Input Gain adjustment has a variable gain of up to +22.4dB and no attenuation.
If the highest gain setting were used, then the maximum allowable input signal level at the DISCFB pin
would be 12.0mV rms. With the lowest gain setting (0dB), the maximum allowable input signal level at the
DISCFB pin would be 158mV rms. The signal level of +8.69dB (838mV rms) is an absolute maximum,
which should not be exceeded anywhere in the signal processing chain if severe distortion is to be
avoided.

8.1.1 Interrupt Operation
The CMX138A will issue an interrupt on the IRQN line when the IRQ bit (bit 15) of the Status register and
the IRQ Mask bit (bit 15) are both set to 1. The IRQ bit is set when the state of the interrupt flag bits in the
Status register change from a 0 to 1 and the corresponding mask bit(s) in the Interrupt Mask register
is(are) set. Enabling an interrupt by setting a mask bit (01) after the corresponding Status register bit
has already been set to 1 will also cause the IRQ bit to be set.
All interrupt flag bits in the Status register, except the Programming Flag (bit 0), are cleared and the
interrupt request is cleared following the command/address phase of a C-BUS read of the Status register.
The Programming Flag bit is set to 1 only when it is permissible to write a new word to the Programming
register. See:

Setting the Mode register to either Rx or Tx will automatically increase the internal clock speed to its
operational speed, whilst setting the Mode register to Idle will automatically return the internal clock to a
lower (powersaving) speed. To access the Program Blocks (through the Programming register, $C8) the
device MUST be in Idle mode.
The CMX138A manages the internal clocks automatically to minimise power consumption, using the
default values loaded in Program Block 3.

The detailed descriptions of the C-BUS registers are presented in numerical order and should be read in
conjunction with the relevant functional descriptions.
9.1.1 Reset Operations
A reset is automatically performed when power is applied to the CMX138A. A reset can be issued as a CBUS command, either as a General Reset command ($01), or by setting the appropriate bit (b5) in the
Powerdown Control register ($C0). In the latter case, an option exists to protect the values held in the
Program Block (which is accessed via the Programming register, $C8). The action of each reset type is
shown in the table below:

The status of the Power-Down register, $C0, can be read back in $C4 to ensure that C-BUS
communications are operational.
9.1.2 General Reset - $01 write
The General Reset command has no data attached to it. It puts the device registers into the states listed

Reference Clk divide value. Divide by 512 is selected by setting these bits to '0'.
Note that on power-up, or after a General Reset, the default settings will not provide a SYSCLK output. To
set SYSCLK to the XTAL frequency it is first necessary to write a '1' to bit 10 of the System CLK PLL data
register ($AB) and also write a '1' to bit 13 of the System CLK REF register ($AC). This will set SYSCLK to
the XTAL frequency and also make the signal available on the SYSCLK pin.

Note: Care should be taken when writing to b5 and b3. These are automatically programmed to an
operational state following a power-on (ie: all 0’s). Writing a 1 to either b5 or b3 will effectively cause the
device to cease all processing activity, including responding to other C-BUS commands (except General
Reset, $01).
When b5 is set, the device will be held in reset and all signal processing will cease (including AuxADC
operation.
When b3 is set the Xtal is disabled. When b3 is subsequently cleared, it may take some time for the clock
signal to become stable, hence care should be taken in using this feature.

Changes to the settings of the bits in this register are implemented as soon as they are received over the
C-BUS (note that the C-BUS has a potential latency of up to 250μs).
In Tx mode, it is only permissible to select ONE of the following at any time:
Audio Tone
In-band Tone
It is essential that changes to the Program Register and the Audio Control register are completed before
entering Rx or Tx mode. It is possible, however, to change the CTCSS tone whilst in Tx mode if the
CTCSS enable bit is set in the Mode Control Register. DCS codes and custom CTCSS tones cannot be
updated in Tx mode.

See Table 3. Selecting the ‘DCS turn-off tone (254)’ during DCS transmit will cause the DCS turn off tone
to be transmitted. CTCSS does not need to be enabled in the Mode Control register to receive the ‘DCS
turn off tone’.
TM
If the Tone Clone mode is selected this allows the device in Rx to non-predictively detect any CTCSS
frequency in the range of valid tones, the received tone number will be reported in the Tone Status register
($CC) and the CTCSS decoder detection bandwidth should be set to its lowest value (P2.1).

Bits 15-12 determine how the remaining bit fields will be interpreted:
0000b:
When the appropriate bits of the Mode Control register ($C1, b10) are set an audio tone will be generated
with the frequency set by bits (11-0) of this register in accordance with the formula below. If bits 11-0 are
programmed with '0' no tone (i.e. Vbias) will be generated when the Audio Tone is enabled.
Frequency = Audio Tone (i.e. 1Hz per LSB)
The Audio Tone frequency should only be set to generate frequencies from 300Hz to 3000Hz.
The host should disable other Audio band signalling and set the correct audio routing before generating an
audio tone and re-enable signalling and audio routing on completion of the audio tone. The timing of
intervals between these actions is controlled by the host µC.
This register may be written to whilst the audio tone is being generated, any change in frequency will take
place after the end of the C-BUS write to this register. This allows complex sequences (e.g. ring or alert
tunes) to be generated for the local speaker (Tx or Rx via the AUDIO pin) or transmitted signal (Tx via the
MOD pins).
0010b:
The Audio Tone Level may be attenuated by the value written to b11-0. The default value of $FFF is
equivalent to x1. Note that this adjustment will also affect the In-Band tone generator. This register
operates in parallel with P1.0, but allows the level to be adjusted “on-the-fly” without needing to drop back
into Idle mode.
0100b:
In Rx mode, the Voice Level may be attenuated by the value written to b11-0. The default value of $FFF is
equivalent to x1. Note that this adjustment will only affect signals in the Voice processing path as enabled
by Mode Control register ($C1, b14) in Rx. This allows the Voice level to be adjusted “on-the-fly” and in
conjunction with the Audio Output attenuator ($B0, b3-0), offers a “fine gain” volume control. Approximate
values for 0.2dB steps are shown in Table 9.

CMX138A
Programming Register Operation
In order to support radio systems that may not comply with the default settings of the CMX138A, a set of
program register blocks is available to customise the features of the device. It is envisaged that these
blocks will only be written to following a power-on of the device and hence can only be accessed while the
device is in Idle mode. Access to these blocks is via the Programming register ($C8).
All other interrupt sources should be disabled while loading the program register blocks.
The Programming register should only be written to when the Programming Flag bit (bit 0) of the Status
register is set to 1 and the Rx and Tx modes are disabled (bits 0 and 1 of the Mode Control register both
'0'). The Programming Flag is cleared when the Programming register is written to by the host. When the
corresponding programming action has been completed (normally within 250µs) the CMX138A will set the
flag back to 1 to indicate that it is now safe to write the next programming value. The Programming
register must not be written to while the Programming Flag bit is 0. Programming is performed by writing a
sequence of 16-bit words to the Programming register in the order shown in the following tables. Writing
data to the Programming register MUST be performed in the order shown for each of the blocks, however
the order in which the blocks are written is not critical. If later words in a block do not require updating the
user may stop programming that block when the last change has been performed. e.g: If only 'Fine Output
Gain 1' needs to be changed the host will need to write to P4.0, P4.1 and P4.2 only.
The user must not exceed the defined word counts for each block. P4.8 is allocated for production testing
and must not be accessed in normal operation.
The high order bits of each word define which block the word belongs to, and if it is the first word of that
block:

Bits 11 (MSB) to 1 (LSB) set the transmitted In-band tone, Audio Tone (pk-pk) with a resolution of

care as higher values may result in signal “clipping”.
Bit 0 controls In-band tone de-emphasis. When In-band tones are enabled in the Mode Control register
($C1), de/pre-emphasis is enabled in the Audio Control register ($C2) and this bit (b0) is set to '1'; signals
going to the In-band tone detector are de-emphasised in accordance with Figure 7 of the datasheet. This
combination of settings should only be used in Rx mode. If this bit is set, then in Tx mode, the user is
advised to clear the de/pre-emphasis bit in the Audio Control register ($C2).

9.2.4 Program Block 3 – AuxDAC, RAMDAC and Clock Control:
This block is divided into two sub-blocks to facilitate loading the RAMDAC buffer. Set bit 15 to restart a
loading sequence. If bit 10 is set then loading the first ten locations will be skipped. If bit 10 is clear, the
first ten locations must be loaded before continuing to the RAMDAC load.
The Internal clk dividers only require modification if a non-standard XTAL frequency is used (see Table 2).

Fine output gain adjustment should be kept within the range 0dB to -3.5dB ($000 to $2A73). This
adjustment occurs before the coarse output gain adjustment (register $B1). Alteration of Fine Output Gain
1 will affect the gain of the AUDIO output, and Fine Output Gain 2 will affect the MOD output.

2’s Complement Offset for Output 2 (MOD), Resolution = AV DD / 65536 per LSB
The Programmed value is subtracted from the output signal. Can be used to compensate for inherent
offsets in the output path via AUDIO (Output 1 Offset) and MOD (Output 2 Offset). It is recommended that
the offset correction is kept within the range +/-50mV. This adjustment occurs before the coarse output
gain adjustment (register $B1), therefore an alteration to the latter register will require a compensation to
be made to the output offsets.

Time to ramp down to zero gain =
(1 + RRU)  1.333ms
(1 + RRD)  1.333ms

starts from when transmit mode is turned off (Mode Control Register bit 1 cleared = ‘0’).

Limiter Setting, Resolution = AVDD / 16384 per LSB
This unsigned number sets the clipping point (maximum deviation from the centre value) for the MOD
output. The maximum setting ($3FFF) is VBIAS  (AVDD/2) i.e. output limited from 0 to AVDD.
The limiter is set to maximum following a C-BUS Reset or a Power-Up Reset. The levels of internally
generated signals may need to be adjusted by setting appropriate transmit levels to avoid un-intentional
limiting. The limiter is active whenever either of the 12.5 or 25kHz Channel filters are selected (both in Rx
or Tx).

b7-0 set the order of the Audio Filter processing. This feature can be used to optimise the signal to noise
performance of particular radio hardware designs. Each filter/process block can be specified in any order.
Each two-bit field specifies the order in which the process will be executed in Tx mode, therefore it is
imperative that each set of bit fields be different. The reverse sequence is used in Rx mode. The voice
filter and soft limiter will always be implemented as the final block in the Tx sequence.
The default settings are:

In-band Tone Detection Level threshold set to 16mV rms.
Detection and decoding involve statistical processes which can, on occasion, result in
figures outside the limits quoted.
With sub-audio dropout time (P2.5) set to = 120ms. The typical dropout immunity is
approximately 40ms more than the programmed dropout immunity. The typical deresponse time is approximately 90ms longer than the programmed dropout immunity.

The receiver audio filter complies with the characteristic shown in Figure 6.
The high pass filtering removes sub-audio components from the audio signal.
The 12.5kHz channel filter complies with the characteristic shown in Figure 9.
The 25kHz channel filter complies with the characteristic shown in Figure 8.
The pre-emphasis filter complies with the characteristic shown in Figure 10.
The de-emphasis filter complies with the characteristic shown in Figure 7.
Psophometric weighting; pre/de-emphasis, compandor and 25kHz channel
filter selected.
AVDD = 3.3V.
Use of a scrambler inversion frequency other than 3300Hz will shift the
scrambled voice signal outside the audio band, so that some of the signal will
be lost in the channel filter. The result is that the descrambled voice signal will
have a restricted bandwidth. The limits quoted are subjective and relate to the
onset of a loss of speech intelligibility.

Notes: 1. Depending on the command, 1 or 2 bytes of CDATA are transmitted to the peripheral MSB
(Bit 7) first, LSB (Bit 0) last. RDATA is read from the peripheral MSB (Bit 7) first, LSB (Bit 0)
last.
2. Data is clocked into the peripheral on the rising SCLK edge.
3. Commands are acted upon at the end of each command (rising edge of CSN).
4. To allow for differing µC serial interface formats C-BUS compatible ICs are able to work with
SCLK pulses starting and ending at either polarity.
5. Maximum 30pF load on IRQN pin and each C-BUS interface line.
These timings are for the latest version of C-BUS and allow faster transfers than the original C-BUS timing
specification. The CMX138A can be used in conjunction with devices that comply with the slower timings,
subject to system throughput constraints.
