Employing Gaussian Minimum shift Keying (GMSK) baseband modulation, the MX589 features a wide range of available data rates: 4k to 64kbps. Data Rates and the choice of BT (0.3 or 0.5) are pin programmable to provide for different system requirements. The Tx and Rx digital data interfaces are bit serial, synchronized to Tx and Rx data clocks generated by the modem. Separate Tx and Rx Powersave inputs allow full or half-duplex operation. Rx input levels can be set by suitable AC and DC level adjusting circuitry built with external components around an on-chip Rx Input Amplifier. Acquisition, Lock, and Hold of Rx data signals are 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 Processor as required. The Rx S/N output provides an indication of the quality of the received signal. The MX589 may be used with a 3.0V to 5.5V power supply and is available in the following packages: 24-pin TSSOP (MX589TN), 24-pin SOIC (MX589DW), and 24-pin PDIP (MX589P). 2001 MX-COM, Inc. www.mxcom.com tel: 800 638 5577 336 744 5050 fax: 336 744 5054 Doc. # 204800103.011 4800 Bethania Station Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105-1201 USA All trademarks and service marks are held by their respective companies.

The input to the on-chip Xtal oscillator. A Xtal, or externally derived clock (fXTAL) pulse input should be connected here. If an externally generated clock is to be used, it should be connected to this pin and the XTAL pin left unconnected. Note: Operation of the MX589 without a suitable Xtal or clock input may cause device damage. Logic level inputs control the internal clock divider and therefore, the transmit and receive data rate. See Table 4. Logic level inputs control the internal clock divider and therefore, the transmit and receive data rate. See Table 4. A logic 0 applied to this input will freeze the Clock Extraction and Level Measurement circuits unless they are in `Acquire' mode. A logic 1 applied to this input will set the RX Level Measurement circuitry to the Acquire mode. A logic 1 applied to this input will set the RX Clock Extraction circuitry to the `Acquire' mode. See Table 5. A logic 1 applied to this input will powersave all receive circuits except for RXCLK output (which will continue at the set bit-rate) and cause the RX Data and RX S/N outputs to go to a logic 0.

High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 6 of 20 MX589 Recommended External Component Notes: 1. The RC network formed by R1 and C1 is required between the TX Out pin and the input to the modulator. This network, which can form part of any DC level shifting and gain adjustment circuitry, forms an important part of the transmit signal filtering. The ground connection to the capacitor C1 should be positioned to give maximum attenuation of high-frequency noise into the modulator. The component values should be chosen so that the product of the resistance and the capacitance is: For a BT of 0.3 For a BT of 0.5 Data Rates (bps) 4000 4800 8000 9600 16000 19200 32,000 38,400 * 64,000 * * VDD 4.5V Table 3: Data Rate vs. BT and Selected External Component Values Note: In all cases, the value of R1 should not be less than 20.0k, and that the calculated value of C1 includes calculated parasitic capacitance. R3, R4 and C6 form the gain components for the RX Input signal. R3 should be chosen as required by the signal input level. The values chosen for C2 and C3 (including stray capacitance), should be suitable for the applied VDD and the frequency of X1. As a guide: C2 = C3 = 33pF at 1.0MHz falling to 18pF at the maximum frequency. At 3.0V, C2 = C3 = 33pF falling to 18pF at 5.0MHz the equivalent series resistance of X1 should be less than 2.0K falling to 150 at the maximum frequency. Stray capacitance on the Xtal/Clock circuit pins must be minimized. C7 and C8 should both be .015F for a data rate of 8kbps, and inversely proportional to the data rate for other data rates, e.g. .030F at 4kbps, 1800pF at 64kbps. The MX589 can operate correctly with the Xtal/Clock frequencies between 1.0MHz and 8.2MHz (VDD = 5.0V) and 1.0MHz to 5.0MHz (VDD = 3.0V) see Table 1 for examples. For best results, a crystal oscillator design should drive the clock inverter input with signal levels of at least 40% of VDD, peak to peak. Tuning fork crystals generally cannot meet this requirement. To obtain crystal oscillator design assistance, consult your crystal manufacturer. Operation of this device without a Xtal or Clock input may cause device damage.

High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 7 of 20 MX589 4 4.1 General Description Clock Oscillator Divider The TX and (nominal) RX data rates are determined by division of the frequency present at the Xtal pin, which may be generated by the on-chip Xtal oscillator or derived from an external source. Any Xtal/Clock frequency in the range of 1.0MHz to 5.0MHz for VDD = 3.0V, or 1.0MHz to 8.2MHz for VDD = 5.0V may be used, depending on the desired data rate. The division ratio is controlled by the logic level inputs on ClkDivA and ClkDivB pins as shown in Table 4, together with an indication of how various standard data rates may be derived from common P Xtal frequencies.

High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 8 of 20 MX589 The output of the radio receiver's Frequency Discriminator should be fed to the MX589's RX Filter by a suitable gain and DC level adjusting circuit. This circuit can be built with external components around the onchip RX Input Amplifier. The gain should be set so that the signal level at the RX Feedback pin is nominally 1V peak to peak (for VDD=5.0V) centered around VBIAS when receiving a continuous 1111000011110000.. data pattern. Positive going signal excursions at RX Feedback pin will produce a logic 0 at the RX Data Output. Negative going excursions will produce a logic 1. The received signal is fed through the lowpass RX Filter, which has a -3dB corner frequency of 0.56 times the data bit-rate, before being applied to the Level Measure and Clock and Data extraction blocks. The Level Measuring block consists of two voltage detectors, one of which measures the amplitude of the positive parts of the received signal. The other measures the amplitude of the negative portions. (Positive refers to signal levels higher than VDD/2, and negative to levels lower than VDD/2.) External capacitors are used by these detectors, via the Doc1 & Doc2 pins, to form voltage `hold' or `integrator' circuits. These two levels are then used to establish the optimum DC level decision-thresholds for the Clock and Data extraction, depending upon the RX signal amplitude and any DC offset. 4.2.2 Rx Circuit Control Modes The operating characteristics of the Rx Level Measurement and Clock Extraction circuits are controlled, as shown in Table 5, by logic level inputs applied to the PLLacq, Rx HOLD , and RxDCacq pins to suit a particular application, or to cope with changing reception conditions, reference Figure 5. In general, a data transmission will begin with a preamble, for example, 1100110011001100, to allow the receive modem to establish timing and level-lock as quickly as possible. After the Rx carrier has been detected, and during the time that the preamble is expected, the RxDCacq and PLLacq Inputs should be switched from a logic 0 to a logic 1 so that the Level Measuring and Clock Extraction modes are operated and sequenced as shown. The Rx HOLD input should normally be held at a logic 1 while data is being received, but may be driven to a logic 0 to freeze the Level Measuring Clock Extraction circuits during a fade. If a fade lasts for less than 200 bit periods, normal operation can be resumed by returning the Rx HOLD input to a logic 1 at the end of the fade. For longer fades, it may be better to reset the Level Measuring circuits by placing the RxDCacq to a logic 1 for 10 to 20 bit periods. Rx HOLD has no effect on the Level Measuring circuits while RxDCacq is at a logic 1, and has no effect on the PLL while PLLacq is at a logic 1. A logic 0 on Rx HOLD does not disable the Rx Clock output, and the Rx Data Extraction and S/N Detector circuits will continue to operate.

High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 9 of 20 MX589 PLLacq 1 Rx HOLD 1 Acquire PLL Action Sets the PLL bandwidth wide enough to allow a lock to the received signal in less than 8 zero crossings. This mode will operate as long as PLLacq is a logic "1". The correction applied to the extracted clock is limited to a maximum of 1/16th bit-period for every two received zero-crossings. The PLL operates in this mode for a period of about 30 bits immediately following a 1 to 0 transition of the PLLacq input, provided that the 1 to 0 1 Medium Bandwidth Rx HOLD input is a logic 1. 0 1 Narrow Bandwidth The correction applied to the extracted clock is limited to a maximum of 1/64th bit-period for every two received zero-crossings. The PLL operates in this mode whenever the Rx HOLD Input is a logic 1 and PLLacq has been a logic 0 for at least 30 bit periods (after Medium Bandwidth operation for instance). 0 0 Hold The PLL feedback loop is broken, allowing the RX Clock to freewheel during signal fade periods. RxDCacq 0 to 1 Rx HOLD X Clamp Rx Level Measure Action Operates for one bit-time after a 0 to 1 transition of the RXDCacq input. The external capacitors are rapidly charged towards a voltage mid-way between the received signal input level and VBIAS, with the charge time-constant being of the order of 0.5bit-time. The voltage detectors act as peak-detectors, one capacitor is used to capture the positive-going signal peaks of the RX Filter output signal and the other capturing the negative-going peaks. The detectors operate in this mode whenever the RXDCacq input is at a logic 1, except for the initial 1-bit Clamp-mode time. Provides a slower but more accurate measurement of the signal peak amplitudes. The capacitor charging circuits are disabled so that the outputs of the voltage detectors remain substantially at the last readings (discharging very slowly [time-constant approx. 2,000 bits] towards VBIAS). 1 X Fast Peak Detect 0 0 1 0 Averaging Peak Detect Hold X = Do not care Table 5: PLL and Rx Level Measurement Operational Modes 4.2.3 Rx Clock Extraction Synchronized by a PLL circuit to zero-crossings of the incoming data, the Rx Clock Extraction circuitry controls the Rx Clock output. The Rx Clock is also used internally by the Data Extraction circuitry. The PLL parameters can be varied by the Rx Circuit Control inputs PLLacq and Rx HOLD to operate in one of four PLL modes as described in Table 5. 4.2.4 Rx Data Extraction The RX Data Extraction circuit decides whether each received bit is a 1 or 0 by sampling the received signal, after filtering, and comparing the sample values to an adaptive threshold derived from the Level Measuring circuit. This threshold is adapted from bit to bit to compensate for intersymbol interference caused by the bandlimiting of the overall transmission path and the Gaussian premodulation filter. Extracted data is output from the RX Data pin, and should be sampled externally on the rising edge of the RX CLK. 2001 MX-COM, Inc. www.mxcom.com tel: 800 638 5577 336 744 5050 fax: 336 744 5054 Doc. # 204800103.011 4800 Bethania Station Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105-1201 USA All trademarks and service marks are held by their respective companies. High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 10 of 20 MX589 4.2.5 Rx S/N Detection The RX S/N Detector system classifies the incoming zero-crossings as GOOD or BAD depending upon the time when each crossing actually occurs with respect to its expected time as determined by the Clock Extraction PLL. This information is then processed to provide a logic level output at the RX S/N pin. A high level indicates a series of GOOD crossings; a low level indicates a BAD crossing. By averaging this output, it is possible to derive a measure of the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio and hence the BitError-Rate of the received signal. 10-1 10-2 10-3 BER 10-4 MX589 BT = 0.3 10-5 BT = 1.0 (Theoretical) MX589 BT = 0.5 10-6 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 S/N (dB) [Noise Bandwidth = Bit Rate] Figure 6: Typical Bit-Error-Rate Performance 4.2.6 Rx Signal Quality The effect of input Rx Signal quality on the Rx S/N output is shown in Figure 7. % High Time 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 5 6 7 8 9 S/N (dB) 10 11 12 13 BT = 0.5 BT = 0.3 Figure 7: Typical Rx S/N Output High time (%) vs. Input S/N 2001 MX-COM, Inc. www.mxcom.com tel: 800 638 5577 336 744 5050 fax: 336 744 5054 Doc. # 204800103.011 4800 Bethania Station Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105-1201 USA All trademarks and service marks are held by their respective companies. High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 11 of 20 MX589 4.3 4.3.1 Transmit TX Signal Path Description The binary data applied to the TX Data input is retimed within the chip on each rising edge of the TX Clock and then converted to a 1-volt peak-to-peak binary signal centered at VBIAS (for VDD= 5.0V) If the TX Enable input is high, then this internal binary signal will be connected to the input of the lowpass TX Filter, and the output of the filter connected to the TX Out pin. Tx Enable 1 0 Tx Filter Input VDD/5VP-P Data VBIAS Tx Out Pin Filtered Data VBIAS via 500k A `low' input to the TX Enable will connect the input of the TX Filter to VBIAS, and disconnect the TX Out pin from the filter, connecting it instead to VBIAS through a high resistance (nominally 500k). The TX Filter has a lowpass frequency response, which is approximately gaussian in shape, as shown in Figure 9, to minimize amplitude and phase distortion of the binary signal while providing sufficient attenuation of the high frequency-components which would otherwise cause interference into adjacent radio channels. The actual filter bandwidth to be used in any particular application will be determined by the overall system requirements. The attenuation- vs. -frequency response of the transmit filtering provided by the MX589 has been designed to meet the specifications for most GMSK modem systems that are -3dB bandwidth switchable between 0.3 and 0.5 times the data bit-rate (BT). Note: An external RC network is required between the TX Out pin and the input to the Frequency Modulator (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). This network, which can form part of any DC level shifting and gain adjustment circuitry, forms an important part of the transmit signal filtering. The ground connection to capacitor C1 should be positioned to give maximum attenuation of high-frequency noise into the modulator. The signal at Tx Out is centered around VBIAS, going positive for logic 1 (high) level inputs to the Tx Data input and negative for logic 0 (low) inputs. When the transmit circuits are put into a `powersave mode' (by a logic 1 to the Tx PS pin) the output voltage of the Tx Filter will be undefined. When power is subsequently restored to the Tx filter, its output will take several bit-times to settle. The Tx Enable input can be used to prevent these abnormal voltages from appearing at the Tx Out pin. 1 BIT PERIOD TX DATA SAMPLED BY THE MX589 AT THESE INSTANCES TX CLK 1.0 s Min. 1.0 s Min.

High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 13 of 20 MX589 4.4 Data Formats The receive section of the MX589 works best with data which has a reasonably random structure --the data should contain approximately the same number of `ones' as `zeroes' with no long sequences (>100 bits) of consecutive ones or zeroes. Also, long sequences (>100 bits) of 10101010 ... patterns should be avoided. For this reason, it is recommended that data be made random in some manner before transmission, for example by exclusive-ORing it with the output of a binary pseudo-random pattern generator. Where data is transmitted in bursts, each burst should be preceded by a preamble designed to allow the receive modem to establish timing and level lock as quickly as possible. This preamble for BT=0.3 should be at least 16 bits long, and should preferably consist of alternating pairs of ones and zeros i.e. 110011001100....; the eye of pattern 10101010 .... has the most gradual slope and will yield poor peak levels for the RX circuits. For BT=0.5 the eye pattern of 10101010... has reduced intersymbol interference and may be used as the preamble (DC Acq pin should be held high during preamble). See Fig. 6. 4.5 Acquisition and Hold Modes The RXDCacq and PLLacq inputs must be pulsed High for about 16 bits at the start of reception to ensure that the DC measurement and timing extraction circuits lock-on to the received signal correctly. Once lock has been achieved, the above inputs should be taken Low again. In most applications, there will be a DC step in the output voltage from the receiver FM discriminator due to carrier frequency offsets as channels are changed or when the remote transmitter is turned on. The MX589 can tolerate DC offsets in the received signal of at least 0.5V with respect to VBIAS, (measured at the RX Feedback pin). However, to ensure that the DC offset compensation circuit operates correctly and with minimum delay, the Low to High transition of the RXDCacq and PLLacq inputs should occur after the mean input voltage to the MX589 has settled to within about 0.1V of its final value. Note: This can place restrictions on the value of any series signal coupling capacitor. As well as using the RX Hold input to freeze the Level Measuring and Clock Extraction circuits during a signal fade, it may also be used in systems which use a continuously transmitting control channel to freeze the RX circuitry during transmission of a data packet, allowing reception to resume afterwards without losing bit synchronization. To achieve this, the MX589 Xtal clock needs to be accurate enough that the derived RXClock output does not drift by more than about 0.1 bit time from the actual received data-rate during the time that the RXHold input is `Low'. However; the RXDCacq input may need to be pulsed High for 2 bit durations to re-establish the level measurements if the RXHold input is Low for more that a few hundred bit-times (exact number depends on system crystal tolerances). The voltages on the Doc1 and Doc2 pins reflect the average peak positive and negative excursions of the (filtered) receive signal, and could therefore be used to derive a measure of the data signal amplitude. Note: These pins are driven from very high-impedance circuits, so that the DC load presented by any external circuitry should exceed 10M to VBIAS. 2001 MX-COM, Inc. www.mxcom.com tel: 800 638 5577 336 744 5050 fax: 336 744 5054 Doc. # 204800103.011 4800 Bethania Station Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105-1201 USA All trademarks and service marks are held by their respective companies. High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 14 of 20 MX589 5 5.1 Application Radio Channel Requirements To achieve legal adjacent channel performance at high bit-rates, a radio with an accurate carrier frequency and an accurate modulation index is required. For optimum channel utilization, (e.g. low BER and high datarates) attention must be paid to the phase and frequency response of both the IF and baseband circuitry. 5.1.1 Bit Rate, BT, and Bandwidth Channel spacing Allowable adjacent channel interference TX filter bandwidth Peak carrier deviation (Modulation Index) TX and RX carrier frequency accuracies Modulator and Demodulator linearity RX IF filter frequency and phase characteristics Use of error correction techniques Acceptable error-rate As a guide to MOBITEX operation, a raw data-rate of 8kbps at 12.5kHz channel spacing may be achievable depending on local regulatory requirements- using a 2kHz maximum deviation, a BT of 0.3, and no more than 1.5kHz discrepancy between Tx & Rx carrier frequencies. Forward error correction (FEC) could then be used with interleaving to reduce the effect of burst errors. Reducing the data-rate to 4.8kbps would allow the BT to be increased to 0.5, improving the error-rate performance. 5.1.2 FM Modulator, Demodulator and IF For optimum performance, the eye pattern of the received signal (when receiving random data) applied to the MX589 should be as close as possible to the Transmit eye pattern examples shown in Figure 10. Of particular importance are general symmetry, cleanliness of the zero-crossings, and for a BT of 0.3, the relative amplitude of the inner eye opening. To achieve this, attention must be paid to: Linearity and frequency/phase response of the Tx frequency modulator. Unless the transmit data is especially encoded to remove low frequency components, the modulator frequency response should extend down to a few hertz. This is because two-point modulation is necessary for synthesized radios. Bandwidth & phase response of the RX IF filters. Accuracy of the Tx and Rx carrier frequencies -any difference will shift the received signal towards one of the skirts of the IF filter response. Ideally, the Rx demodulator should be DC coupled to the MX589 RX Signal In pin (with a DC bias added to center the signal at the RX Feedback pin at VDD/2 [VBIAS]). However, AC coupling can be used provided that: The 3dB cut-off frequency is 20Hz or below (i.e. a 0.1F capacitor in series with 100k). The data does not contain long sequences of consecutive ones or zeroes. Sufficient time is allowed after a step change at the discriminator output (resulting from channel changing or the appearance of a RF carrier) for the voltage into the MX589 to settle before the RXDCacq line is strobed. The maximum data rate that can be transmitted over a radio channel depends on the following: 2001 MX-COM, Inc. www.mxcom.com tel: 800 638 5577 336 744 5050 fax: 336 744 5054 Doc. # 204800103.011 4800 Bethania Station Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27105-1201 USA All trademarks and service marks are held by their respective companies. High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 15 of 20 MX589 5.1.3 Two-Point Modulation When designing the MX589 into a radio that uses a frequency synthesizer, a two-point modulation technique is recommended. This is both to prevent the radio's PLL circuitry from counteracting the modulation process, and to provide a clean flat modulation response down to DC. Figure 12 shows a suggested basic configuration to provide a two-point modulation drive from the MX589 TX Output using MX-COM's MX019 Digitally Controlled Quad Amplifier Array. The MX019 elements provide individual set-up, calibration and dynamic control of modulation levels. Level setting control of the amplifiers/attenuators of the MX019 is via an 8-bit data word. With reference to Figure 12: The buffer amplifier is required to prevent loading of the MX589 external RC circuit. Stage B, with R1/R2, provides suitable signal and DC levels for the VCO varactor; C1 is RF decoupling. The drive level should be adjusted (digitally) to provide the desired deviation. Stage C, with R3/R4, provides the Reference Oscillator drive (application dependent). This parameter is set by adjusting for minimum AC signal on the PLL control voltage with a low-frequency modulating signal (inside the PLL bandwidth) applied. Stage D could be used with the components shown if a negative reference drive is required. Stage A provides buffering and overall level control.

High Speed GMSK Modem 4k to 64kbps Page 16 of 20 MX589 5.2 AC Coupling of Tx and Rx Signals In practical applications, it is possible to arrange AC coupling between the MX589 Tx Output and the frequency modulator to cut-off at a very low frequency, such as 5.0Hz. AC coupling between the receive discriminator and the input of the MX589 may need a shorter time-constant to avoid problems from voltage steps at the output of the discriminator when changing channels or when the distant transmitter turns on. For these reasons, as well as to maintain reasonable BER, the optimum -3dB cut-off frequencies are around 5.0Hz in the Tx path and 20.0Hz in the Rx path. Figure 13 shows the typical static Bit-Error-Rate performance of the MX589 operating under nominal conditions for various degrees of AC coupling at the Rx input and the Tx output.

As illustrated in Figure 14, the time for this step to decay to 37% of its original value is `RC' where: RC = 1 2(the 3dB cutoff frequency of the RC network) which is 32ms, or 256 bit times at 8kbps, for a 5Hz network.
