The MX105A is a monolithic CMOS tone detector for tone decoding in single and multitone signaling systems. Using
phase locked loop (PLL) decoding techniques, the MX105A recognizes tones in the presence of high noise levels and
strong adjacent channel tones. Detection frequency and bandwidth can each be independently adjusted. The design is
immune to high levels of harmonic and sub-harmonic noise. It also maintains excellent noise immunity and constant
bandwidth over a wide range of input signal levels.
The MX105A requires a voltage supply of 2.7V to 5.5V and is available in the following package styles: 16-pin SOIC
(MX105ADW), 16-pin PDIP (MX105AP), and 24-pin PLCC (MX105ALH).

MX105A PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
4. General Description
The MX105A implements a frequency detector with a phase locked loop (PLL) and a lock detector. The voltage controlled
oscillator (VCO) center frequency, detection bandwidth, loop filter, and detect filter are all independently controlled by
external components.
The MX105A provides a pair of pseudo-sinewave multipliers for splitting the input signal into approximately orthogonal
components. These multipliers are implemented with commutating filters (cyclically sampling filters) which translate an in
band AC input signal to DC. The commutating loop filter is used as the phase detector of the PLL while the commutating
detect filter provides for lock detection. Each pseudo-sinewave has a cyclic form (1 1 0 -1 -1 0) to eliminate low order
harmonic responses. The loop filter produces an error signal, which when applied to the VCO input allows frequency
locking. A limiter between the loop filter output and the VCO input provides tunable control of the detection bandwidth
(BW). Once lock is achieved the detect filter produces a DC value proportional to the input tone amplitude. An internally
generated reference is compared to the detect filter output to determine whether the PLL is locked to an input tone. Once
lock is determined the internal reference is reduced by 50% to minimize output chatter with marginal input signals.
The sampling clocks of the detect filter lag those of the loop filter by 60°. To improve performance, a capacitor (C4) can
be used to phase shift the input to the loop filter by 30°. This shifts all sampling clocks an additional 30° relative to the
input tone to phase align the detect filter sampling clocks with the amplitude peaks of the input tone.
Figure 3 shows the sampling clocks relative to an in band input tone; this figure represents the steady state ‘locked’
condition without C4.

MX105A PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
5. Application
The external components shown in Figure 2 are used to adjust the various performance parameters of the MX105A. The
signal-to-noise performance, response time and signal bandwidth are all interrelated factors which should be optimized to
meet the requirements of the application.
By selecting component values in accordance with the following formulas, optimum circuit performance is obtained for any
given application.
First define the following application parameters:
A. The center frequency to be detected (f0).
B. The MX105A Minimum Usable Bandwidth (MUBW). This is obtained by taking into account the worst case
tolerances on the input tone frequency and variations in the MX105A f 0 due to supply voltage and any temperature
effect of the MX105A and its supporting components.
C. The maximum permissible MX105A response time.
D. The minimum input signal amplitude.
Note: Using this information the appropriate component values can be calculated, and the signal-to-noise performance
can be read from a chart. Do not add large safety margins for response time and minimum signal amplitude;
reasonable margins are already included in the formulas. Excessive margins may result in reduced noise immunity.
5.1 Method for Calculating External Component Values
The examples on the following pages demonstrate the calculation of component values for any given application. For the
purpose of the examples, the values below are used:
A. f0 = 2800 Hz
B. ∆TEMP = 100 °C, ∆ VDD = 1V, ∆fIN = 0.5%
C. Maximum allowed response time = 50ms
D. Minimum input signal amplitude = 200 mVRMS.
5.2 Define f0
The components R1, C1A and C1B set the free running frequency of the VCO and therefore the f0 of the MX105A. As
shown below, the frequency of 2800 Hz corresponds to a capacitor value of 220pF and a resistor value of 385 kΩ. This
resistance can be achieved with a 300 kΩ fixed resistor for R1F and for R1V a 100 kΩ potentiometer. The capacitance of
C1A and C1B should include 10-20pF parasitic capacitance due to the device and its package plus any board parasitic
capacitance.
f0 =

K ⋅ R1(C1A + C1B )
2Kf 0
where : K
R1
=
2.1 ± 5%
=
(R1F + R1V)
5.3 Calculate Minimum Usable Bandwidth
Minimum Usable Bandwidth (MUBW) is the TOTAL bandwidth required for the following:
A. Input signal frequency tolerance
B. MX105A f0 temperature coefficient (TC = 100 ppm/°C)
C. MX105A f0 supply voltage coefficient (VC = 5000 ppm/V)
Note: Add A, B and C and express as TOTAL bandwidth, not as a ± percentage (%) value.
MUBW = ∆f 0 + T C ∆TEMP + V C ∆V
MUBW = 0.5 + 0.01 × 100 + 0.5 × 1 = 2%

10 + MUBW 10 + 2

5.5 Select R4 for Operating BW
R4 =
4.8 × BW
4.8 × 6
=
≈ 6.8kΩ
10.35 − BW 10.35 − 6
The exact bandwidth given by any value of R4 will vary slightly. In applications where an exact bandwidth is required, R4
should be a variable resistor to permit adjustment.
5.6 Calculate R2×C2A
R2 × C2 A ≈
100
3 × f0 × BW
For a frequency of 2800 Hz, a bandwidth of 6%, and a choice of C2 A = 0.01µF ⇒ R V = 200kΩ .
Note: Use nearest preferred values.
5.7 Define Maximum Allowed Response Time
The maximum response time (TON) is the sum of the VCO lock time (TLOCK) and the DETECT integration time (TDETECT).
The MX105A’s TON must not exceed the maximum time allowed for the application, but a value lying near the maximum
gives the best S/N performance.
A. Calculate TLOCK
TLOCK =
150
f0 × BW
Using the formula above, for a frequency of 2800 Hz and a bandwidth of 6% the approximate Lock time (TLOCK) will be 9
ms. Since the maximum response time is 50 ms, a DETECT time of 41 ms is allowed.
Note: TLOCK may vary from near zero to the value given, causing corresponding variations in actual T ON.
B. Calculate Maximum Allowable TDETECT
TDETECT = TON MAX − TLOCK

This is used in calculating TDETECT components.

where: VTH is the detect filter sensitivity.
Note:
1. For a signal amplitude of 200 mVRMS, a resistor value R3 of 510 kΩ with a 0.1µF capacitor for C3A and C3B will yield
a TDETECT time of 20ms. This in turn yields a response time of 9ms + 20 ms = 29ms.
2. Use nearest preferred values.

For improved de-response time, a diode (1N914 or similar) can be placed between pins 5 and 6, as shown in Figure 3.
The formula and figure below show the approximate time the MX105A will take to turn off after an in-band signal has been
removed. The effect of this diode is to greatly reduce the turn-off time with signal input amplitudes greater than 300
mVRMS. This graph is for VDD = 5V; for lower VDD KDT increases.

5.10 Calculate Signal to Noise Performance
Worst-case S/N calculations depend on calculation of a value “M” using the formula shown below:
M=
R3 × C3 A
3 × R2 × C2 A
substituting example values,
M=
510 × 0.1
= 8.5
3 × 200 × 0.01
By substituting this value for M in Figure 5, the minimum required S/N of an in band tone with respect to an adjacent
interfering tone can be found. This then has to be increased depending on the input tone amplitude.

If this S/N is better than required for the application, R3×C3A can be reduced, or the operating bandwidth can be
increased to obtain a faster tone detection time.
If the S/N performance is not adequate, the operating bandwidth can be reduced toward the MUBW, or R3C3A can be
increased to improve S/N performance at the expense of slower response time.
5.11 Calculate C4 for 30° Phase Shift
Capacitor C4 is used to phase shift the input to the VCO commutating filter by 30°, thereby shifting the sampling clocks by
the same amount. This enables the Detect sampling filter to sample and integrate at the maximum and minimum of the
input tone.

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.
This notification is relevant product information to which it is attached.
