V23 and ETSI specifications 1.1 Brief Description The FX604 is a low power CMOS integrated circuit for the reception or transmission of asynchronous 1200bits/sec data in accordance with CCITT V.23 and ETSI specifications. It is also capable of generating the 75bits/sec 'back channel'. The device incorporates an optional Tx and Rx data retiming function that removes the need for a UART in the associated C when operating at 1200bits/sec. The device can disable the back channel or be operated so only the mark or space tone is produced. An optional line equaliser is incorporated into the receive path, this is controlled by an external logic level. The FX604 may be used in a wide range of telephone telemetry systems. With a low voltage requirement of 3.0V it is suitable for both portable terminal and line powered applications. A very low current 'sleep' mode (1 A typ.) and operating current of 1mA typ. mean the device is ideal for line powered applications. A 3.58MHz standard Xtal/Clock rate is required and the device operates from a 3.0 to 5.5V supply. Both SOIC (D4) and Plastic DIL (P3) 16-pin package types are available. 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited V.23 Compatible Modem FX604 CONTENTS Section Page 1.0 Features......................................................................................................1 1.1 Brief Description ........................................................................................1 1.2 Block Diagram............................................................................................3 1.3 Signal List ..................................................................................................3 1.4 External Components ................................................................................5 1.5 General Description ...................................................................................5 1.5.1 Xtal Osc and Clock Dividers .........................................................5 1.5.2 Mode Control Logic.......................................................................6 1.5.3 Rx Input Amplifier .........................................................................6 1.5.4 Receive Filter and Equaliser .........................................................6 1.5.5 Energy Detector ...........................................................................7 1.5.6 FSK Demodulator .........................................................................7 1.5.7 FSK Modulator and Transmit Filter ...............................................7 1.5.8 Rx Data Retiming .........................................................................9 1.5.9 Tx Data Retiming........................................................................10 1.6 Application Notes ....................................................................................12 1.6.1 Line Interface..............................................................................12 1.7 Performance Specification ......................................................................13 1.7.1 Electrical Performance................................................................13 1.7.2 Packaging ..................................................................................16 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 2 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem 1.2 FX604 Block Diagram Figure 1 Block Diagram 1.3 Signal List FX604 D4/P3 Signal Description Pin No. Name Type 1 XTALN O/P The output of the on-chip Xtal oscillator inverter. 2 XTAL/CLOCK I/P The input to the on-chip Xtal oscillator inverter. 3 M0 I/P A logic level input for setting the mode of the device.

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. 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 4 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem 1.4 FX604 External Components R1 X1 100k 3.579545MHz C1, C2 C3 C4 18pF 0.1F 0.1F Resistors 5%, capacitors 10% unless otherwise stated. Figure 2 Recommended External Components for Typical Application 1.5 General Description 1.5.1 Xtal Osc and Clock Dividers Frequency and timing accuracy of the FX604 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 FX604 as well as generating undefined states of the RXD, DET and RDYN outputs. 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 5 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem 1.5.2 FX604 Mode Control Logic The FX604's operating mode is determined by the logic levels applied to the M0 and M1 input pins: M1 0 0 1 1 M0 0 1 0 1 Rx Mode 1200bits/sec off 1200bits/sec Tx Mode 75bits/sec 1200bits/sec off 'Zero-Power' Data Retime[1] Rx Tx Rx - [1] If enabled. In the 'Zero-Power' mode, power is removed from all internal circuitry. When leaving 'Zero-Power' 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 signal received 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 75bits/sec 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. Figure 3 Rx Equaliser Group Delay (RXEQ = '1') with respect to 1700Hz 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 6 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem 1.5.5 FX604 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 These blocks produce a tone according to the TXD, M0 and M1 inputs as shown in the table below, assuming data retiming is not being used: M1 1 1 0 0 Note: [1] M0 1 0 0 1 TXD = '0' TXD = '1' 0Hz[1] 450Hz 2100Hz 390Hz 1300Hz TXOP held at approx VDD/2. When modulated at the appropriate baud rates, the Transmit Filter and associated external components (see section 1.6.1) limit the FSK out of band energy sent to the line in accordance with Figures 5a and 5b, assuming that the signal on the line is at -6dBm or less. 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 7 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem FX604 Figure 5a Tx limits at 75bits/sec rate Figure 5b Tx limits at 1200bits/sec rate 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 8 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem 1.5.8 FX604 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. Data bits 7 7 8 8 9 Parity bits 0 1 0 1 0 Stop bits >=2 >=1 >=1 >=1 >=1 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 C 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 C 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 C within the time of a complete character at 1200bits/sec. 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 9 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem FX604 Td = Internal FX604 delay; max 1s Tchi = CLK high time; min 1s Tclo = CLK low time; min 1s 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 FX604 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 C to load 1 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 C 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. 1996 Consumer Microcircuits Limited 10 D/604/3 V.23 Compatible Modem FX604 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 FX604 delay; max 1s Tr = RDYN low to CLK going low; max 800s Tchi = CLK high time; min 1s Ts = data set up time; min 1s Th = data hold time; min 1s Figure 6c FSK Operation with Tx Data Retiming To ensure synchronisation between the controlling device and the FX604 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 FX604 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 75bits/sec data which has no retime option.
