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 computational overhead
of maximum likelihood (Viterbi) estimation methods.
The CMX909B is pin, function and software backwards compatible with the FX909A and MX909A
modems and also uses the same external components. 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 zero-
error 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.
