Brief Description
The FX589 is a single-chip modem employing
Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) modulation.
Data rates of 4kb/s to 64kb/s and the choice of BT
to 0.3 or 0.5 are pin-programmable functions to suit
radio data channel bandwidth requirements.
The Rx and Tx digital data interfaces are bit-serial
and synchronised to Rx and Tx data clocks generated
by the modem. Separate Rx and Tx Powersave/Enable
inputs allow for full- or half-duplex operation.
Rx input levels can be set by a suitable ac and dc
level adjusting circuit built, with external components,
around an on-chip Rx input amplifier.
Acquisition, lock and hold of Rx data signals is made
easier and faster by the use of Rx Control Inputs to clamp,
detect and/or hold input data levels and can be set by the
system µProcessor as required.
Indication is available, from the Rx S/N output, as to the
quality of the received signal.
The FX589 design features a low-current analogue/digital
ASIC process offering significantly lower current
consumption than DSP technology. For data rates up to
32kb/s the FX589 draws typically 1.5mA at 3.0 volts V and
DD
for data rates up to 64kb/s at 5.0 volts, typically 4.0mA.
This low-power CMOS microcircuit is available in both
24-pin plastic DIL and Small Outline (SOIC and SSOP)
packages.
