Brief Description
The FX614 is a low power CMOS integrated circuit for the reception or transmission of asynchronous
1200bits/sec data and is suitable for use in Bell 202 type systems. It is also capable of generating the
5bits/sec or 150bits/sec 'back channel'.
The device incorporates an optional Tx and Rx data retiming function that removes the need for a UART in the
associated µC when operating at 1200bits/sec. An optional line equaliser is incorporated into the receive path,
this is controlled by an external logic level.
The FX614 may be used in a wide range of telephone telemetry systems. With a low operating voltage of
3.0V, a very low current 'sleep' mode (1µA) and an operating current of 1mA the device is ideal for portable,
terminal and line powered applications. A 3.58MHz standard Xtal/Clock rate is required and the device
operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply. Both SOIC (D4) and Plastic DIL (P3) 16-pin package types are available.

This device is capable of detecting and decoding small amplitude signals. To achieve this VDD and VBIAS
decoupling and protecting the receive path from extraneous in-band signals are very important. It is
recommended that the decoupling capacitors are placed so that connections between them and the device
pins are as short as practicable. A ground plane protecting the receive path will help attenuate interfering
signals.

General Description
1.5.1
Xtal Osc and Clock Dividers
Frequency and timing accuracy of the FX614 is determined by a 3.579545MHz clock present at the
XTAL/CLOCK pin. This may be generated by the on-chip oscillator inverter using the external components C1,
C2 and X1 of Figure 2, or may be supplied from an external source to the XTAL/CLOCK input. If supplied from
an external source, C1, C2 and X1 should not be fitted.
The on-chip oscillator is turned off in the 'Zero-Power' mode.
If the clock is provided by an external source which is not always running, then the 'Zero-Power' mode must be
set when the clock is not available. Failure to observe this rule may cause a significant rise in the supply
current drawn by FX614 as well as generating undefined states of the RXD, DET and RDYN outputs.

In the 'Zero-Power' (ZP) mode, power is removed from all internal circuitry. When leaving the 'ZP' mode there
must be a delay of 20ms before any Tx data is passed to, or Rx data read from, the device to allow the bias
level, filters and oscillator to stabilise. On applying power to the device the mode must be set to 'ZP', i.e. M0 =
'1', M1 = '1', until VDD has stabilised.
1.5.3
Rx Input Amplifier
This amplifier is used to adjust the received signal to the correct amplitude for the FSK receiver and Energy
Detect circuits (see section 1.6.1).
1.5.4
Receive Filter and Equaliser
Is used to attenuate out of band noise and interfering signals, especially the locally generated transmit tones
which might otherwise reach the 1200bits/sec FSK Demodulator and Energy Detector circuits. This block also
includes a switchable equaliser section. When the RXEQ pin is low, the overall group delay of the receive filter
is flat over the 1200bits/sec frequency range. If the RXEQ pin is high the receive filter's typical overall group
delay will be as shown in Figure 3.

Energy Detector
This block operates by measuring the level of the signal at the output of the Receive Filter, and comparing it
against a preset threshold.
The DET output will be set high when the level has exceeded the threshold for sufficient time. Amplitude and
time hysteresis are used to reduce chattering of the DET output in marginal conditions.
Note that this circuit may also respond to non-FSK signals such as speech.
See section 1.7.1 for definitions of Teon and Teoff
Figure 4 FSK Level Detector Operation
1.5.6
FSK Demodulator
This block converts the 1200bits/sec FSK input signal to a logic level received data signal which is output via
the RXD pin as long as the Data Retiming function is not enabled (see section 1.5.8). This output does not
depend on the state of the DET output.
When the Rx 1200bits/sec mode is 'Off' or in 'ZP' the DET and RXD pins are held low.
Note that in the absence of a valid FSK signal, the demodulator may falsely interpret speech or other
extraneous signals as data. For this reason it is advised that the RXD pin is read only when data is expected.
1.5.7
FSK Modulator and Transmit Filter

When modulated at the appropriate baud rates, the Transmit Filter and associated external components (see

assuming that the signal on the line is at -6dBm or less.

FX614
Rx Data Retiming
This function may be used when the received data consists of 1200bits/sec asynchronous characters, each
character consisting of one start bit followed by a minimum of 9 formatted bits as shown in the table below.

The Data Retiming block, when enabled in receive mode, extracts the first 9 bits of each character following
the start bit from the received asynchronous data stream, and presents them to the µC under the control of
strobe pulses applied to the CLK input. The timing of these pulses is not critical and they may easily be
generated by a simple software loop. This facility removes the need for a UART in the µC without incurring an
excessive software overhead.
The receive retiming block consists of two 9-bit shift registers, the input of the first is connected to the output
of the FSK demodulator and the output of the second is connected to the RXD pin. The first register is clocked
by an internally generated signal that stores the 9 received bits following the timing reference of a high to low
transition at the output of the FSK demodulator. When the 9th bit is clocked into the first register these 9 bits
are transferred to the second register, a new stop-start search is initiated and the CLK input is sampled. If the
CLK input is low at this time the RDYN pin is pulled low and the first received bit is output on the RXD pin. The
CLK pin should then be pulsed high 9 times, the first 8 high to low transitions will be used by the device to
clock out the bits in the second register. The RDYN output is cleared the first time the CLK input goes high. At
the end of the 9th pulse the RXD pin will be connected to the FSK demodulator output.
So to use the Data Retiming function, the CLK input should be kept low until the RDYN output goes low; if the
Data Retiming function is not required the CLK input should be kept high at all times.
The only restrictions on the timing of the CLK waveform are those shown in Figure 6a and the need to
complete the transfer of all nine bits into the µC within the time of a complete character at 1200bits/sec.

Figure 6a FSK Operation with Rx Data Retiming
Note that, if enabled, the Data Retiming block may interpret speech or other signals as random characters.
If the Data Retiming facility is not required, the CLK input to the FX614 should be kept high at all times. The
asynchronous data from the FSK Demodulator will then be connected directly to the RXD output pin, and the
RDYN output will not be activated by the FSK signal. This case is illustrated by the example in Figure 6b.
Figure 6b FSK Operation without Rx Data Retiming (CLK always high)
1.5.9
Tx Data Retiming
The Data Retiming block, when enabled in 1200bits/sec transmit mode, requires the controlling µC to load one
bit at a time into the device by a pulse applied to the CLK input. The timing of this pulse is not critical and it
may easily be generated by a simple software loop. This facility removes the need for a UART in the µC
without incurring an excessive software overhead.
The Tx re-timing circuit consists of two 1-bit registers in series, the input of the first is connected to the TXD
pin and the output of the second feeds the FSK modulator. The second register is clocked by an internally
generated 1200Hz signal and when this occurs the CLK input is sampled. If the CLK input is high the TXD pin
directly controls the FSK modulator, if the CLK input is low the FSK modulator is controlled by the output of the
second register and the RDYN pin is pulled low. The RDYN output is reset by a high level on the CLK input
pin. A low to high change on the CLK input pin will latch the data from the TXD input pin into the first register
ready for transfer to the second register when the internal 1200Hz signal next occurs.

FX614
So to use the retiming option the CLK input should be held low until the RDYN output is pulled low. When the
RDYN pin goes low the next data bit should be applied at the TXD input and the CLK input pulled high and
then low within the time limits set out in Figure 6c.
Td = Internal FX614 delay; max 1µs
Tr = RDYN low to CLK going low; max 800µs
Tchi = CLK high time; min 1µs
Ts = data set up time; min 1µs
Th = data hold time; min 1µs
Figure 6c FSK Operation with Tx Data Retiming
To ensure synchronisation between the controlling device and the FX614 when entering Tx retiming mode the
TXD pin must be held at a constant logic level from when the CLK pin is first pulled low to the end of loading in
the second retimed bit. Similarly when exiting Tx retiming mode the TXD pin should be held at the same logic
level as the last retimed bit for at least 2 bit times after the CLK line is pulled high.
If the data retiming facility is not required, the CLK input to the FX614 should be kept high at all times. The
asynchronous data to the FSK modulator will then be connected directly to the TXD input pin. This is
illustrated in Figure 6d and will also be the case when transmitting 5bits/sec or 150bits/sec data which have no
retime option.
