Features - GMSK Modulation/Demodulation - On-chip Packet Detection - Rx or Tx up to 38.4kbits/sec - Parallel Host Processor Interface - Full and Short Data Packet Framing - Low Power 3.0V/5.0V Operation - Mobitex patible including R14N Short Block Frames - Flexible Operating and Powersave Modes 1. Brief Description The CMX909B is a half-duplex Gaussian Minimum Shift Keyed (GMSK) BT=0.3 modem data pump with on-chip packet data handling. GMSK modulation optimises the data throughput for a given bandwidth RF channel and the on-chip packet data handling relieves the host µC of regular processing tasks, such as maintaining Bit and Frame Synchronisation, Block Formatting, CRC and FEC Error Processing, Data Interleaving and Scrambling. The demodulator uses decision feedback equalisation techniques to reduce the channel distortion effects and enhance the receiver performance without the putational overhead of maximum likelihood (Viterbi) estimation methods. The CMX909B is pin, function and software backwards patible with the FX909A and MX909A modems and also uses the same external ponents. It offers improved performance, higher data rates and lower voltage operation, as well as handling the recent R14N extension to Mobitex for short block frames. The CMX909B also offers 2-strength Xtal driver circuitry - for wider choice of xtals, optional zeroerror or one-error frame sync. detection, multiple powersave options - for intelligent power management, and availability in both 24-pin TSSOP and SSOP low-height package options. The CMX909B is ideally suited to wireless data applications such as Mobitex terminals, wireless telemetry, licence-free radio data and ISM band radio schemes. © 2008 CML Microsystems Plc GMSK Packet Data Modem Section CONTENTS Page 1.
