CMX138 Audio Scrambler and Sub-Audio Signalling Processor

CMX138
CMX138 Audio Scrambler and Sub-Audio Signalling Processor Features:
  • Programmable audio scrambler
  • Concurrent audio/signalling operations
  • Full audio-band processing: Pre and de-emphasis, compandor, scrambler and selectable 2.55 / 3 kHz filters
  • Auxiliary ADC and auxiliary DAC
  • C-BUS serial interface to host μcontroller
  • 2 x Analogue inputs (Mic or Discriminator)
  • Selectable audio processing order
  • Sub-audio signalling: CTCSS, DCS
  • Auxiliary system clock output
  • Tx output for single-point modulation
  • Low-power (3.0V to 3.6V) operation
  • Flexible powersave modes
  • Available in 28-pin TSSOP package
General Description:
The CMX138 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 CMX138 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 CMX138 includes a crystal clock generator, with buffered output, to provide a common system clock if required. A block diagram of the CMX138 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).
