Brief Description  
The CMX138A is a half-duplex, audio scrambler and sub-audio signalling processor IC for Analogue Two-  
way Radio applications. This makes it a suitable device for the leisure radio markets (FRS, MURS,  
PMR446 and GMRS).  
This device provides a user programmable frequency inversion audio scrambler, companding and pre/de-  
emphasis performing simultaneous processing of Sub-audio and In-band signalling.  
Other features include an auxiliary ADC channel and an auxiliary DAC interface (with optional RAMDAC,  
to facilitate transmitter power ramping).  
The device has flexible powersaving modes and is available in a 28-pin (E1) TSSOP package.

R2 and R3 should be selected to provide the desired dc gain of the discriminator input, as follows:  
GAINDISC= R2 / R3  
The gain should be such that the resultant output at the DISCFB pin is within the discriminator input  
signal range specified in 7.11.2. If the DISCN2 pin is selected the gain becomes:  
GAINDISC= R2 / (R3//R4)  
(assuming that R3 and R4 are both connected to the same input signal).  
R5, R6, R7 and R8 should be selected to provide the desired dc gain of the microphone input.  
3
The gain should be such that the resultant output at the MICFB pin is within the microphone input  
signal range specified in 7.11.1. For optimum performance with low signal microphones, an additional  
external gain stage may be required. C6 and C7 should be chosen to maintain a flat low pass  
response up to 3kHz.  
If a single-ended microphone is used, then R6 should be connected to VBIAS and R5 deleted.  
R1 and C1 should be chosen to maintain a flat low pass response up to 3kHz.  
R9 and C8 should be chosen to maintain a flat low pass response up to 3kHz.

If the DISC input is ac coupled, the selection of the coupling capacitor should allow for frequencies  
from below 50Hz and up to 3kHz to be passed without significant distortion to allow both Audio and  
sub-audio decoders to function within their specification.  
If the MIC input is dc coupled, the selection of the coupling capacitor should allow for frequencies  
from 300Hz and up to 3kHz to be passed without significant distortion to allow the audio filtering and  
processing to function within their specification.

Figure 3 CMX138A Power Supply Connections and De-coupling  
Notes:  
1. It is important to protect the analogue pins from extraneous in-band noise and to minimise the  
impedance between the device and the supply and bias de-coupling capacitors. The de-coupling  
capacitors should be as close as possible to the device. It is therefore recommended that the printed  
circuit board is laid out with separate ground planes for the AVSS, and DVSS supplies in the area of the  
CMX138A, with provision to make links between them, close to the device. Use of a multi-layer printed  
circuit board will facilitate the provision of ground planes on separate layers.  
2. VBIAS is used as an internal reference for detecting and generating the various analogue signals. It  
must be carefully decoupled, to ensure its integrity, so apart from the decoupling capacitor shown, no  
other loads should be connected. If VBIAS needs to be used to set the discriminator mid-point  
reference, it must be buffered with a high input-impedance buffer.

General Description  
The CMX138A 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 CMX138A 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 CMX138A includes a crystal clock generator, with buffered output, to provide a common system clock  
if required. A block diagram of the CMX138A 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).

Detailed Descriptions  
7.1 Xtal Frequency  
The CMX138A is designed to work with a Xtal or external frequency source of 6.144MHz or 3.6864MHz  
(as selected by the state of the CLKSEL pin). If either of these default configurations is not suitable, then  
Program Register Block 3 should to be loaded with the correct values to ensure that the device will work to  
specification with the user specified clock frequency. A table of common values can be found in Table 2.  
Note the maximum Xtal frequency is 12.288MHz, although an external clock source of up to 24.576MHz  
can be used.  
The register values in Table 2 are shown in hex (however only the lower 10 bits are relevant), the default  
settings are shown in bold, and the settings which do not give an exact setting (but are within acceptable  
limits) are in italics. The new P3.2-3 settings take effect following the write to P3.3 (the settings in P3.4-7  
are implemented on a change to Rx or Tx mode). Check that the PRG flag is set in the Status register  
($C6 bit 0 is set to '1') before writing each new P3.2 P3.7 value via the Programming register ($C8). If a  
default frequency is not used, the register values in Table 2 should be programmed into the CMX138A  
immediately after power-up.

7.2 Host Interface  
A serial data interface (C-BUS) is used for command, status and data transfers between the CMX138A  
and the host µC; this interface is compatible with microwire, SPI. Interrupt signals notify the host µC when  
a change in status has occurred and the µC should read the status register across the C-BUS and  
respond accordingly. Interrupts only occur if the appropriate mask bit has been set. See section 8.1.1.  
The device will monitor the state of the C-BUS registers that the host has written to every 250µs (the C-  
BUS latency period) hence it is not advisable for the host to make successive writes to the same C-BUS  
register within this period.  
To minimise activity on the C-BUS interface, optimise response times and ensure reliable data transfers, it  
is advised that the IRQ facility be utilised (using the IRQ mask register, $CE). It is permissible for the host  
to poll the IRQ pin if the host uC does not support a fully interrupt-driven architecture. This removes the  
need to continually poll the C-BUS status register ($C6) for status changes.  
7.2.1 C-BUS Operation  
This block provides for the transfer of data and control or status information between the CMX138A’s  
internal registers and the host µC over the C-BUS serial interface. Each transaction consists of a single  
2014 CML Microsystems Plc  
Page 13  
D/138A/4  
 
 
Audio Scrambler and Sub-Audio Signalling Processor  
CMX138A  
Address byte sent from the µC which may be followed by one or more Data byte(s) sent from the µC to be  
written into one of the CMX138A’s Write Only registers, or one or more data byte(s) read out from one of  
the CMX138A’s Read Only registers, as illustrated in Figure 4.  
Data sent from the µC on the CDATA line is clocked into the CMX138A on the rising edge of the SCLK  
input. RData sent from the CMX138A to the µC is valid when the SCLK is high. The CSN line must be  
held low during a data transfer and kept high between transfers. The C-BUS interface is compatible with  
most common µC serial interfaces and may also be easily implemented with general purpose µC I/O pins  
controlled by a simple software routine.  
The number of data bytes following an Address byte is dependent on the value of the Address byte. The  
most significant bit of the address or data are sent first. For detailed timings see section 11.2. Note that,  
due to internal timing constraints, there may be a delay of up to 250µs between the end of a C-BUS write  
operation and the CMX138A responding to the C-BUS command. Ensure that this C-BUS latency time (up  
to 250µs) is observed when writing multiple commands to the same C-BUS register.

7.3 Device Control  
CMX138A can be set into many modes to suit the environment in which it is to be used. These modes are  
described in the following sections and are programmed over the C-BUS: either directly to operational  
registers or, for parameters that are not likely to change during operation, via the Programming register  
($C8).  
For basic operation:  
1. Enable the relevant hardware sections via the Power Down Control register  
2. Set the appropriate mode registers to the desired state (Audio, In-band, Sub-Audio etc.)  
3. Select the required Signal Routing and Gain  
4. Use the Mode Control register to place the device into Rx or Tx mode  
To conserve power when the device is not actively processing an analogue signal, place the device into  
Idle mode. Additional powersaving can be achieved by disabling the unused hardware blocks, however,  
care must be taken not to disturb any sections that are automatically controlled.

7.3.1 Signal Routing  
The CMX138A offers a flexible routing architecture, with two signal inputs, a single signal processing path  
with an optional bypass and both Tx Modulation and Audio outputs. Each of the signalling processing  
blocks is routed directly to the appropriate input and output blocks.

Idle

At power-on or following a Reset, the device will automatically enter Idle mode, which allows for the

CMX138A  
7.4 Audio Functions  
The audio signal can be processed in several ways, depending on the implementation required, by  
selecting the relevant bits in the Audio Control $C2 write register. In both Rx and Tx, a selectable  
channel filter to suit either the 12.5kHz or 25kHz TIA/ETSI channel mask can be selected. This filter also  
incorporates a selectable hard or soft limiter to reduce the effects of over-modulation. Other features  
include 300Hz HPF, pre- and de-emphasis, companding and frequency inversion scrambling, all of which  
may be individually enabled. The order in which these features are executed is selectable to ensure  
compatibility with existing implementations and provide optimal performance (see section 9.2.5).  
7.4.1 Audio Receive Mode  
The CMX138A operates in half duplex, so whilst in receive mode the transmit path (microphone input and  
modulator output amplifiers) can be disabled and powered down. The audio output signal level is  
equalised (to VBIAS) before switching between the audio port and the modulator ports, to minimise  
unwanted audible transients. In the powersave state, the audio output pin enters a hi-Z state, however, if  
left enabled and the preceding stages powersaved, it will be driven to the VBIAS level.  
See:  
o
Audio Control $C2 write.  
Receiving Audio Band Signals  
When a voice-based signal is being received, it is up to the host µC, in response to signal status  
information provided by the CMX138A, to control muting/enabling of the audio signal to the AUDIO output.  
The discriminator path through the device has a programmable gain stage. Whilst in receive mode this  
should normally be set to 0dB (the default) gain.  
Receive Filtering  
The incoming signal is filtered, as shown in Figure 6 (with the 300Hz HPF also active), to remove sub-  
audio components and to minimise high frequency noise. When appropriate, the audio signal can then be  
routed to the AUDIO output. Separate selectable filters are available for:  
300Hz High Pass (to reject sub-audible signalling)  
2.55kHz Low Pass (for 12.5kHz channel operation)  
3.0kHz Low Pass (for 25kHz channel operation)  
Note that with no filters selected, the low frequency response extends to below 5Hz at the low end but still  
rolls off above 3.3kHz at the top end.

CMX138A  
De-emphasis  
Optional de-emphasis at -6dB per octave from 300Hz to 3000Hz (shown in Figure 7) can be selected, to  
facilitate compliance with TIA/EIA-603, EN 300 086, EN 301 025 etc. The template shows the +1, -3dB  
limits.  
Rx Companding (Expanding)  
The CMX138A incorporates an optional syllabic compandor in both transmit and receive modes. This  
expands received audio band signals that have been similarly compressed in the transmitter to enhance  
dynamic range. See section 7.4.3 and:  
o
Audio Control $C2 write.  
Audio De-scrambling  
The CMX138A incorporates an optional frequency inversion de-scrambler in receive mode. This de-  
scrambles received audio band signals that have been scrambled in the transmitter. The inversion  
frequency can be programmed using the Scramble Frequency register, $CB. The default value is 3300Hz.  
See:  
o
o
Audio Control $C2 write  
Scrambler Inversion Frequency $CB write.  
7.4.2 Audio Transmit Mode  
The device operates in half duplex, so when the device is in transmit mode the receive path (discriminator  
and audio output amplifiers) should be disabled, and can be powered down, by the host µC.  
A single modulator output with programmable gain is provided which combines both the audio and sub-  
audio signals to facilitate single or two-point modulation.  
To avoid spurious transmissions when changing from Rx to Tx the MOD output is ramped to the quiescent  
modulator output level, VBIAS before switching. Similarly, when starting a transmission, the transmitted  
signal is ramped up from the quiescent VBIAS level and when ending a transmission the transmitted signal  
is ramped down to the quiescent VBIAS level. The ramp rates are set in the Programming register P4.6 and  
enabled by bits 0,1 of the Analogue Input Gain register. When the modulator output is disabled, their  
outputs will be set to VBIAS. When the modulator output driver is powered down, its output will enter a hi-Z  
state (high impedance), so the external RF modulator should be disabled to avoid unwanted  
transmissions.  
For all transmissions, the host µC must only enable signals after the appropriate data and settings for  
those signals are loaded into the C-BUS registers. As soon as any signalling is enabled the CMX138A will  
use the settings to control the way information is transmitted.  
A programmable gain stage in the microphone input path facilitates a host controlled VOGAD capability.  
See:  
o
o
Audio Control $C2 write  
Analogue Input Gain - $B0 write.  
Processing Audio Signals for Transmission over Analogue Channels  
The microphone input, with programmable gain, can be selected as the audio input source. Pre-emphasis  
is selectable with either of the two analogue Tx audio filters (for 12.5kHz and 25kHz channel spacing).  
These are designed for use in EN 300 086, TIA/EIA-603 or EN 301 025 compliant applications. When the  
300Hz HPF is enabled, it will attenuate sub-audio frequencies below 250Hz by more than 33dB with  
respect to the signal level at 1kHz.  
These filters, together with a built in limiter, help ensure compliance with EN 300 086 and EN 301 025  
(25kHz and 12.5kHz channel spacing) when levels and gain settings are set up correctly in the target  
system. The channel filters incorporate a soft-limiter function by default, however, should a hard-limiter be  
required, this can be enabled by setting bit 13 of Program Register P4.9 (see section 9.2.5). The level at  
which the limiter starts to operate can also be adjusted using Program Register P4.7 (see section 9.2.5).

Input AGC  
An Automatic Gain Control system can be enabled by setting the relevant bits of the Program register  
P4.9. The setting of the Input 1 Gain stage is recorded when the device enters Tx mode and if the signal  
exceeds the pre-set threshold, the Input 1 Gain is automatically reduced in 3.2dB steps until it falls within  
the operational levels or the range of the gain stage is exhausted. When the signal level drops, the gain  
will be automatically increased in 3.2dB steps at the rate set in P4.9 until the initial value has been  
reached. For maximum effect the system should be designed such that the +22.4dB setting of the Input 1  
Gain stage achieves the nominal levels. To ensure consistent operation, it is recommended that the  
Input 1 Gain stage value be re-initialised before entering Tx mode. The signal that is used as an input to  
this process can be selected to be either:  
o
o
Output of Input1 gain stage  
Output of the Pre-emphasis filter.  
by selecting the relevant bit in P4.9. The Pre-emphasis option should only be chosen if this block is  
actually in use.

Tx Companding (Compressing)  
The CMX138A incorporates an optional syllabic compandor in both transmit and receive mode. This  
compresses audio band signals before transmission to enhance dynamic range. See section 7.4.3 and:  
o
Audio Control $C2 write.  
Audio Scrambling  
The CMX138A incorporates an optional frequency inversion scrambler in transmit and receive modes.  
This scrambles transmitted audio band signals, which can then be de-scrambled in the receiver. The  
inversion frequency can be programmed using the Scramble Frequency register, $CB. The default value is  
3300Hz. The scrambler frequency may be changed while the device is in an active Rx or Tx mode.

CMX138A  
7.4.3 Audio Compandor  
The compandor is comprised of a compressor and an expandor. The compressor’s function is to reduce  
the dynamic range of a given signal by attenuating larger amplitudes while amplifying smaller amplitudes.  
The expandor’s function is to expand the dynamic range of a given signal by attenuating small amplitude  
signals (e.g. noise) while amplifying large amplitude signals. The compressor is used prior to transmission  
and the expandor is used in the receiver. Hence, using a compandor will enhance performance in a  
communication system by transmitting a compressed signal, which is less likely to be corrupted by noise,  
and then at the receiver expanding the compressed signal, which will push the noise picked up during  
transmission down further.  
The CMX138A uses a “syllabic compandor.” This type of compandor, as opposed to the instantaneous  
compandor (e.g. µ/A-law PCM), responds to changes in the average envelope of the signal amplitude  
according to a syllabic time constant . Typically, the steady state output for the compressor is proportional  
to the square root of the input signal, i.e: for a 2 dB change in input signal, the output change will be 1 dB.  
Generally for voice communication systems a compressor is expected to have an input dynamic range of  
60 dB, providing an output dynamic range of 30 dB. The expandor does the inverse.

7.5 Sub-audio Signalling  
Sub-audio signalling is available in the audio band below 260Hz. When sub-audio signalling is enabled,  
the 300Hz HPF in the audio section should also be enabled to remove the sub-audio signalling from the  
audio signal (in both Tx and Rx). Both CTCSS tones and DCS codes are supported, as well as a special  
Tone Clonemode which will report back any received CTCSS tone rather than look for a specific tone.  
There are 51 CTCSS tones defined in the CMX138A and there is provision for a user-specified tone. In Tx  
only, tone phase adjustment (180 or 120 degrees) to implement “Reverse Tone Burst” for squelch tail  
elimination can be accomplished by setting b9, b8 of the Audio Control register, $C2.  
The DCS coder/decoder supports both 23- and 24-bit modes with both true and inverse modulation  
formats and the 134Hz end of transmission burst.  
The CTCSS tone and DCS code values for both Rx and Tx operation are specified in the Audio Control  
register ($C2), in the lowest 8 bits (shown in decimal):

the host can turn the functionality on or off without having to re-program the values in the Audio Control  
register, $C2.

7.5.1 Receiving and Decoding CTCSS Tones  
The CMX138A is able to accurately detect valid CTCSS tones quickly, to avoid losing the beginning of  
audio or data transmissions, and is able to continuously monitor the detected tone with minimal probability  
of falsely dropping out. The received signal is filtered in accordance with the template shown in Figure 13,  
to prevent signals outside the sub-audio range from interfering with the sub-audio tone detection.

Figure 13 Low Pass Sub-audio Band Filter for CTCSS and DCS  
Once a valid CTCSS tone has been detected, Status register ($C6) b11 will be set and the host µC can  
then route the audio band signal to the audio output. The audio band signal is extracted from the received  
signal by bandpass filtering as shown in Figure 6.  
To optimise the CTCSS tone decoder, adjustable decoder bandwidths and threshold levels allow the user  
to trade-off decode certainty against signal-to-noise performance when congestion or range restrict the  
system performance. The tone decoder bandwidth and threshold level are set in P2.1 of the Programming  
register ($C8) and the desired tone is programmed in the Audio Control register ($C2). In systems which  
make use of tones 41 to 51 or other “split” tones (tones in between the frequencies of tones 1 to 40), the  
CTCSS decoder bandwidth should be reduced to avoid false detection of adjacent tones.  
When enabled, an interrupt will be issued when an input signal matching a CTCSS tone in Table 3  
changes state (ie: on, off or to or from a different tone). If a sub-audio tone is present, but it is not one of  
the valid CTCSS tones (as shown in Table 3), then it will be reported as an unrecognised tone. If a tone  
other than the programmed tone is detected, it will be reported as an Invalid tone, unless Tone Cloning is  
enabled, in which case it will report the detected tone number. Note that CTCSS phase changes are not  
detected. If enabled, an IRQ will be generated under the following conditions:

Tone Cloning  
Tone Cloningfacilitates the detection of CTCSS tones 1 to 39 in receive mode which allows the device to  
non-predictively detect any tone in this range. This mode is activated by programming CTCSS Tone  
Number 00 (b0-7 of Audio Control register = 200 decimal). The received tone number will be reported in  
the Tone Status register ($CC) and can then be programmed into the Audio Control register by the host  
µC. The cloned tone will only be active when CTCSS is enabled in the Mode Control register ($C1). This  
setting has no effect in Tx mode and the CTCSS generator will output no signal.

Tone Cloning™ should not be used in systems where tones 41 to 51 or other “split” tones (tones between  
the frequencies of tones 1 to 40) may be received. The all-call tone 40 can still be used after Tone  
Cloninghas been performed. The CTCSS decoder detection bandwidth should be set to its lowest value  
(in P2.1 of the Programming Register) to ensure accurate detection.  
CTCSS Tones  
Table 3 lists the CTCSS tones available, the tone numbers and the equivalent (decimal) values that need  
to be programmed into b7-0 of the Audio Control register ($C2) and which will be reported back in the  
Tone Status register ($CC).  
Notes  
1. Register value 00 in b0-7 of the Tone Status register ($CC) indicates that none of the above sub-  
audio tones is being detected. If register value 00 is programmed into the Audio Control register  
($C2) and CTCSS enabled in the Mode Control register ($C1), only CTCSS tone 40 (240 decimal)  
will be scanned for. If CTCSS transmit is selected, this tone setting will cause the CTCSS  
generator to output no signal.  
2. Tone number 40 (240 decimal) provides an all-user CTCSS tone option; regardless of the sub-  
audio tones set, the CMX138A will report the presence of this tone whenever the CTCSS detector  
is enabled. This feature is useful for implementing emergency type calls e.g. All-Call.  
3. Tone number 55 (255 decimal) is reported in the Tone Status register ($CC), when CTCSS  
receive is enabled and a sub-audio tone is detected that does not correspond to the selected tone  
or the all-call tone (tone number 40). This could be a tone in the sub-audio band which is not in the  
table or a tone in the table which is not the selected tone or All-Call tone.  
4. Tones 40 to 51 (240 to 251 decimal) are not in the TIA-603 standard.  
5. Tone number 52 (252 decimal) will select the User Programmable Tone value in Program Block 2  
CTCSS and DCS Setup.  
6. Tone number 53 (253 decimal) will select the XTCSS call maintenance tone, 64.7Hz.  
7. Tone number 54 (254 decimal) will select the DCS turn-off tone, 134.4Hz.  
8. Tone Clone, register value 200, is a write-only value to the Audio Control register ($C2). It will not  
be reported back in the Tone Status register ($CC). Instead, the received tone number is reported  
back in this register.  
7.5.2 Receiving and Decoding DCS Codes  
DCS code is in NRZ format and transmitted at 134.40.4bps. The CMX138A is able to decode any 23- or  
24-bit pattern in either of the two DCS modulation modes defined by TIA/EIA-603 and described in Table  
4. The CMX138A can detect a valid DCS code quickly enough to avoid losing the beginning of audio  
transmissions.

The CMX138A detects the DCS code that matches the programmed code defined in the Audio Control  
register ($C2) in either its true or inverted form. Register values 1 to 83 correspond to modulation type A  
(“true”) and register values 101 to 183 correspond to modulation type B (“inverted”). A facility for a user-  
defined code is available via Program Block 2 CTCSS and DCS Setup. The signal inversion caused by  
the input amplifier is automatically compensated for in the device, so that a true DCS signal applied at its  
input will be decoded as a true code in the Tone Status register ($CC). Note that monitoring this signal at  
the DISCFB pin will show an inverted waveform.  
To detect the pre-programmed DCS code, the signal is low-pass filtered to suppress all but the sub-audio  
band, using the filter shown in Figure 13. Further equalisation filtering, signal slicing and level detection  
are performed to extract the code being received. The extracted code is then matched with the

D/138A/4  
 
Audio Scrambler and Sub-Audio Signalling Processor  
CMX138A  
programmed 23- or 24-bit DCS code to be recognised, in the order least significant first through to most  
significant DCS code bit last. Table 5 shows a selection of valid 23-bit DCS codes: this does not preclude  
other codes being programmed. Recognition of a valid DCS code will be flagged if the decode is  
successful (3 or less errors) by setting b10 of the Status register ($C6) to 1. A failure to decode is  
indicated by clearing this bit to 0. This bit is updated after the decoding of every 4th bit of the incoming  
signal. The actual code received is reported back in the Tone Status register ($CC) according to Table 3,  
so that the host µC can determine if it was the true or inverted form of the code.  
Once a valid DCS code has been detected, the host µC can route the audio band signal to the audio  
output. The audio signal is extracted from the received input signal by band pass filtering, see Figure 6.  
The end of DCS transmissions is indicated by a 134.4 0.5Hz tone for 150-200ms. When a valid DCS  
code has been detected, the CMX138A will automatically scan for the turn-off tone. When the DCS turn-off  
tone is detected it will cause a DCS interrupt and report tone 54 (Tone Status b0-7 value 254 decimal); the  
receiver audio output can then be muted by the host. Note that, due to the asynchronous nature of the  
turn-off tone, it is possible for both a “no-tone” and a “turn-off” tone to be indicated at the end of a DCS  
transmission. Note that DCS detection and CTCSS detection can not be performed concurrently.

7.5.3 Transmit CTCSS Tone  
The sub-audio CTCSS tone generated is defined in the Audio Control register ($C2). Table 3 lists the  
CTCSS tones and the corresponding decimal values for programming b0-7 of the register. To facilitate  
Squelch Tail elimination and Reverse Tone Burst, the phase of the transmitted tone can be altered by  
either 120, 180 or 240 degrees by setting b9, b8 in the Audio Control register ($C2). The phase change is  
not instantaneous, but implemented by retarding the phase of the tone to its new value over a number of  
cycles to avoid the generation of spurious signals. A 180 degree change will be completed within 20ms.  
7.5.4 Transmit DCS Code  
A 23- or 24-bit sub-audio DCS code can be generated, as defined by the Audio Control register ($C2). The  
same DCS code pattern is used for detection and transmission. The DCS code is NRZ encoded at  
134.40.4 bps, low-pass filtered and added to the audio band signal, before being passed to the modulator  
output stages. Valid 23-bit DCS codes and the corresponding settings for the Audio Control Register are  
shown in Table 5, and include a user-defined facility. The least significant bit of the DCS code is  
transmitted first and the most significant bit is transmitted last. The CMX138A is able to encode and  
transmit either of the two DCS modulation modes defined by TIA/EIA-603 (true and inverted) described in  
Table 4. If 24-bit mode is required, bit 11 of Programming register P2.1 should be set. The MOD output  
inverts the signal from the device, so, depending on the detailed design of the following modulator  
sections, it may be necessary to select an inverted DCS code in the Audio Control register ($C2) in order  
to produce a true DCS code "on-air".  
To signal the end of the DCS transmission, the host should set the Audio Control register ($C2) to the  
DCS turn off tone (register value b0-7 = 254 decimal) for 150ms to 200ms. After this time period has  
elapsed the host should then disable DCS in the Mode Control register ($C1). Note that if a CTCSS tone is  
to be transmitted following the DCS turn-off tone (in a subsequent transmission) the new CTCSS value will  
need to be written to the Audio Control register ($C2) immediately after the selection of Tx mode.  
7.6 In-band Signalling User Tones  
The CMX138A supports a user-programmable in-band tone between 288Hz and 3000Hz. Note that if a  
tone below 400Hz is used, sub-audio signalling should be disabled and the 300Hz HPF disabled.  
By default, the CMX138A will use a 1750Hz tone, however this may be changed by the host to any valid  
tone within its operational range by use of the Programming register. This ensures that the device can  
remain compatible with all available tone systems in use. The CMX138A does not implement automatic  
repeat tone insertion or deletion: it is up to the host to correctly implement the appropriate protocol.  
Selection of the In-band signalling mode is performed by bits 10-9 of the Mode register ($C1). Detection of  
the selected In-band signalling mode can be performed in parallel with audio or data reception.

7.6.1 Receiving and Decoding In-band Tone  
In-band tones can be used to flag the start of a call or to confirm the end of a call. If they occur during a  
call the tone may be audible at the receiver. When a valid input signal is detected, it will be reported in the  
Tone Status register, $CC. If the input signal matches the In-band tone value then b15 will be set (tone  
detected), otherwise b14-11 will be set (unrecognised tone) see Table 6. If enabled, an IRQ will be  
generated as shown below:

Adjustable decoder bandwidths and threshold levels are programmable via the Programming register.  
These allow certainty of detection to be traded against signal to noise performance when congestion or  
range limits the system performance. The in-band signal is derived from the received input signal after the  
bandpass filtering shown in Figure 6.

7.6.2 Transmitting In-band Tone  
The In-band tone to be generated is defined in the TX TONE register ($C3). The tone level is set in the  
Programming register (P1.0). The In-band tone must be transmitted without other signals in the audio  
band, so the host µC must disable the audio path prior to initiating transmission of an In-band tone and  
restore it after the In-band tone transmission is complete.  
7.7 Auxiliary ADC Operation  
The input to the Auxiliary ADC is routed through an inverting op-amp from the AuxADC input pin under  
control of the AuxADC and Tx MOD mode register, $A7. Conversions will be performed as long as the  
input source is selected; to stop the ADC, the input source should be set to “none”. Register $C0, b6  
(BIAS) must be enabled for Auxiliary ADC operation.  
Averaging can be applied to the ADC readings by selecting the relevant bits in the Signal Routing register,  
$A7, the length of the averaging is determined by the value in the Programming register (P3.0), and  
defaults to a value of 0. This is a rolling average system such that a proportion of the current data will be  
added to the last average value. The proportion is determined by the value of the average counter in P3.0,  
as follows:  
For an average value of:  
0 = 50% of the current value will be added to 50% of the last average value,  
1 = 25% of the current value will be added to 75% of the last average value  
2 = 12.5% etc.  
The maximum useful value of this field is 8. For a step input signal, this provides an exponential-style  
response in the output data.  
High and low thresholds may be independently applied to the ADC channel (the comparison is applied  
after averaging, if this is enabled) and b8 of the IRQ Status register ($C6) will be set (and an IRQ  
generated, if enabled) whenever the signal crosses above the High threshold or below the Low threshold  
(except in the case where the high threshold has been set below the low threshold). The threshold status  
can be determined from b15 and b14 of the AuxADC data register ($A9). The thresholds are programmed  
via the AuxADC Threshold register ($B5). Auxiliary ADC data is read back in the AuxADC Data register  
($A9) and includes the threshold status as well as the actual conversion data (subject to averaging, if  
enabled). Note that the thresholds are inverted due to the op-amp on the AuxADC input pin.

7.8 Auxiliary DAC/RAMDAC Operation  
The Auxiliary DAC channel is programmed via the AuxDAC Control register, $A8. AuxDAC may also be  
programmed to operate as a RAMDAC which will automatically output a pre-programmed profile at a  
programmed rate. The AuxDAC Control register, $A8, with b12 set, controls this mode of operation. The  
default profile is a raised cosine (see Table 11), but this may be over-written with a user defined profile by  
writing to Programming register P3.11. The RAMDAC operation is only available in Tx mode and, to avoid  
glitches in the ramp profile, it is important not to change to Idle or Rx mode whilst the RAMDAC is still  
ramping. The AuxDAC output holds the user-programmed level during a powersave operation if left  
enabled, otherwise it will return to zero.

Figure 15 Digital Clock Generation Schemes  
The CMX138A includes a two-pin crystal oscillator circuit. This can either be configured as an oscillator, as  
shown in Figure 2, or the XTAL input can be driven by an externally generated clock. The crystal (Xtal)  
source frequency can go up to 12.288MHz (clock source frequency up to 24.576MHz), but a 6.144MHz or  
3.6864MHz Xtal is assumed for the default functionality provided in the CMX138A (see section 7.1).  
7.9.1 Main Clock Operation  
A PLL is used to create the Main Clock (nominally 24.576MHz) for the internal sections of the CMX138A.  
At the same time, other internal clocks are generated by division of either the XTAL Reference Clock or  
the Main Clock. These internal clocks are used for determining the sample rates and conversion times of  
A-to-D and D-to-A converters, running a General Purpose Timer and the signal processing block. It should  
be noted that in Idle mode the setting of the GP Timer divider directly affects the C-BUS latency (with the  
default values this is nominally 250μs).  
The CMX138A defaults to the settings appropriate for a 6.144MHz or 3.6864MHz Xtal, however if other  
frequencies are to be used (to facilitate commonality of Xtals between the external RF synthesizers and  
the CMX138A for instance) then the Program Block registers P3.2 to P3.7 will need to be programmed  
appropriately at power-on. A table of common values is provided in Table 2. The C-BUS registers $BC and  
$BD are controlled automatically and must not be accessed directly by the user.  
See:  
o
Program Block 3 AuxDAC, RAMDAC and Clock Control:  
7.9.2 System Clock Operation  
A System Clock output, SysClock1 Out, is available to drive additional circuits, as required. This is a  
phase locked loop (PLL) clock that can be programmed via the System Clock registers with suitable  
values chosen by the user. The System Clock PLL Configure register ($AB) controls the values of the  
VCO Output divider and Main Divide registers, while the System Clock Ref. Configure register ($AC)  
controls the values of the Reference Divider and signal routing configurations. The PLL is designed for a  
reference frequency of 96kHz. If not required, this clock can be independently powersaved. The clock  
generation scheme is shown in the block diagram of Figure 15. Note that at power-on the System Clock  
output is turned off and the output is held at '0'.

7.10 GPIO  
Two pins on the CMX138A are provided for Rx and Tx Enables. These pins become active low when the  
device enters the appropriate mode. These can be used for driving external circuitry and have the  
advantage of having minimal delay from the activation of the selected mode and so are not dependant  
upon any delays due to the transfer of commands / data over the C-BUS.

7.11 Signal Level Optimisation  
The internal signal processing of the CMX138A will operate with wide dynamic range and low distortion  
only if the signal level at all stages in the signal processing chain is kept within the recommended limits.  
For a device working from a 3.3V ±10% supply, the maximum signal level which can be accommodated  
without distortion is [(3.3 x 90%) (2 x 0.3V)] Volts pk-pk = 838mV rms, assuming a sine wave signal.  
Compared to the reference level of 308mV rms, this is a signal of +8.69dB. This should not be exceeded  
at any stage.  
7.11.1 Transmit Path Levels  
For the maximum undistorted signal out of the MOD attenuator, the signal level at the output of the  
Analogue block should not exceed +8.69dB, assuming both fine and coarse output attenuators are set to a  
gain of 0dB. The sub-audio level is normally set to 31mV rms ±1.0dB, which means that the output from  
the soft limiter must not exceed 803mV rms. If pre-emphasis is used, an output signal at 3000Hz will have  
three times the amplitude of a signal at 1000Hz, so the signal level before pre-emphasis should not  
exceed 268mV rms. If the compressor is also used, its ‘knee’ is at 100mV rms, which would allow a signal  
into the compressor of 718mV rms, which is less than the maximum signal level. The Fine Input Gain  
adjustment has a maximum attenuation of 3.5dB and no gain, whereas the Coarse Input Gain adjustment  
has a variable gain of up to +22.4dB and no attenuation. If the highest gain setting were used, then the  
maximum allowable input signal level at the MICFB pin would be 54mV rms. With the lowest gain setting  
(0dB), the maximum allowable input signal level at the MICFB pin would be 718mV rms.  
In some applications where there is a requirement for the system to operate with a significant overload on  
the MIC input (+20dB) an external limiter may be required to ensure that the signal input does not exceed  
the recommended CMX138A input levels. This can result in significant harmonic content (above 6kHz)  
that should be removed by suitable input filtering.  
7.11.2 Receive Path Levels  
For the maximum undistorted signal out of the audio attenuator, the signal level at the output of the  
Analogue Routing block should not exceed +8.69dB, assuming both fine and coarse output attenuators  
are set to a gain of 0dB. In this case, there is no sub-audio signal to be added, so the maximum signal  
level remains at 838mV rms. If de-emphasis is used, an output signal at 300Hz will have three and a third  
times the amplitude of a signal at 1000Hz, so the signal level before de-emphasis should not exceed  
251mV rms. If the expander is also used, its ‘knee’ is at 100mV rms, which would allow a signal into the  
expander of 158mV rms. The Fine Input Gain adjustment has a maximum attenuation of 3.5dB and no  
gain, whereas the Coarse Input Gain adjustment has a variable gain of up to +22.4dB and no attenuation.  
If the highest gain setting were used, then the maximum allowable input signal level at the DISCFB pin  
would be 12.0mV rms. With the lowest gain setting (0dB), the maximum allowable input signal level at the  
DISCFB pin would be 158mV rms. The signal level of +8.69dB (838mV rms) is an absolute maximum,  
which should not be exceeded anywhere in the signal processing chain if severe distortion is to be  
avoided.

8.1.1 Interrupt Operation  
The CMX138A will issue an interrupt on the IRQN line when the IRQ bit (bit 15) of the Status register and  
the IRQ Mask bit (bit 15) are both set to 1. The IRQ bit is set when the state of the interrupt flag bits in the  
Status register change from a 0 to 1 and the corresponding mask bit(s) in the Interrupt Mask register  
is(are) set. Enabling an interrupt by setting a mask bit (01) after the corresponding Status register bit  
has already been set to 1 will also cause the IRQ bit to be set.  
All interrupt flag bits in the Status register, except the Programming Flag (bit 0), are cleared and the  
interrupt request is cleared following the command/address phase of a C-BUS read of the Status register.  
The Programming Flag bit is set to 1 only when it is permissible to write a new word to the Programming  
register. See:

Status $C6 read  
Interrupt Mask - $CE write

Mode Control $C1 write  
Status $C6 read  
Analogue Input Gain - $B0 write  
Analogue Output Gain - $B1 write  
Audio Control $C2 write.  
Setting the Mode register to either Rx or Tx will automatically increase the internal clock speed to its  
operational speed, whilst setting the Mode register to Idle will automatically return the internal clock to a  
lower (powersaving) speed. To access the Program Blocks (through the Programming register, $C8) the  
device MUST be in Idle mode.  
The CMX138A manages the internal clocks automatically to minimise power consumption, using the  
default values loaded in Program Block 3.

The detailed descriptions of the C-BUS registers are presented in numerical order and should be read in  
conjunction with the relevant functional descriptions.  
9.1.1 Reset Operations  
A reset is automatically performed when power is applied to the CMX138A. A reset can be issued as a C-  
BUS command, either as a General Reset command ($01), or by setting the appropriate bit (b5) in the  
Powerdown Control register ($C0). In the latter case, an option exists to protect the values held in the  
Program Block (which is accessed via the Programming register, $C8). The action of each reset type is  
shown in the table below:

Following a Reset operation, the internal checksum values are made available in the $AA, $B8 and $B9  
registers. The device ID is available in $C5.  
The status of the Power-Down register, $C0, can be read back in $C4 to ensure that C-BUS  
communications are operational.  
9.1.2 General Reset - $01 write  
The General Reset command has no data attached to it. It puts the device registers into the states listed  
below. A power-on reset performs the same action.

Note that on power-up, or after a General Reset, the default settings will not provide a SYSCLK output. To  
set SYSCLK to the XTAL frequency it is first necessary to write a '1' to bit 10 of the System CLK PLL data  
register ($AB) and also write a '1' to bit 13 of the System CLK REF register ($AC). This will set SYSCLK to  
the XTAL frequency and also make the signal available on the SYSCLK pin.

Note: Care should be taken when writing to b5 and b3. These are automatically programmed to an  
operational state following a power-on (ie: all 0’s). Writing a 1 to either b5 or b3 will effectively cause the  
device to cease all processing activity, including responding to other C-BUS commands (except General  
Reset, $01).  
When b5 is set, the device will be held in reset and all signal processing will cease (including AuxADC  
operation.  
When b3 is set the Xtal is disabled. When b3 is subsequently cleared, it may take some time for the clock  
signal to become stable, hence care should be taken in using this feature.

Changes to the settings of the bits in this register are implemented as soon as they are received over the  
C-BUS (note that the C-BUS has a potential latency of up to 250μs).  
In Tx mode, it is only permissible to select ONE of the following at any time:  
Audio Tone  
In-band Tone  
It is essential that changes to the Program Register and the Audio Control register are completed before  
entering Rx or Tx mode. It is possible, however, to change the CTCSS tone whilst in Tx mode if the  
CTCSS enable bit is set in the Mode Control Register. DCS codes and custom CTCSS tones cannot be  
updated in Tx mode.

See Table 3. Selecting the ‘DCS turn-off tone (254)’ during DCS transmit will cause the DCS turn off tone  
to be transmitted. CTCSS does not need to be enabled in the Mode Control register to receive the ‘DCS  
turn off tone’.  
If the Tone CloneTM mode is selected this allows the device in Rx to non-predictively detect any CTCSS  
frequency in the range of valid tones, the received tone number will be reported in the Tone Status register  
($CC) and the CTCSS decoder detection bandwidth should be set to its lowest value (P2.1).

Bits 15-12 determine how the remaining bit fields will be interpreted:  
0000b:  
When the appropriate bits of the Mode Control register ($C1, b10) are set an audio tone will be generated  
with the frequency set by bits (11-0) of this register in accordance with the formula below. If bits 11-0 are  
programmed with '0' no tone (i.e. Vbias) will be generated when the Audio Tone is enabled.  
Frequency = Audio Tone (i.e. 1Hz per LSB)  
The Audio Tone frequency should only be set to generate frequencies from 300Hz to 3000Hz.  
The host should disable other Audio band signalling and set the correct audio routing before generating an  
audio tone and re-enable signalling and audio routing on completion of the audio tone. The timing of  
intervals between these actions is controlled by the host µC.  
This register may be written to whilst the audio tone is being generated, any change in frequency will take  
place after the end of the C-BUS write to this register. This allows complex sequences (e.g. ring or alert  
tunes) to be generated for the local speaker (Tx or Rx via the AUDIO pin) or transmitted signal (Tx via the  
MOD pins).  
0010b:  
The Audio Tone Level may be attenuated by the value written to b11-0. The default value of $FFF is  
equivalent to x1. Note that this adjustment will also affect the In-Band tone generator. This register  
operates in parallel with P1.0, but allows the level to be adjusted “on-the-fly” without needing to drop back  
into Idle mode.  
0100b:  
In Rx mode, the Voice Level may be attenuated by the value written to b11-0. The default value of $FFF is  
equivalent to x1. Note that this adjustment will only affect signals in the Voice processing path as enabled  
by Mode Control register ($C1, b14) in Rx. This allows the Voice level to be adjusted “on-the-fly” and in  
conjunction with the Audio Output attenuator ($B0, b3-0), offers a “fine gain” volume control. Approximate  
values for 0.2dB steps are shown in Table 9.

9.2 Programming Register Operation  
In order to support radio systems that may not comply with the default settings of the CMX138A, a set of  
program register blocks is available to customise the features of the device. It is envisaged that these  
blocks will only be written to following a power-on of the device and hence can only be accessed while the  
device is in Idle mode. Access to these blocks is via the Programming register ($C8).  
All other interrupt sources should be disabled while loading the program register blocks.  
The Programming register should only be written to when the Programming Flag bit (bit 0) of the Status  
register is set to 1 and the Rx and Tx modes are disabled (bits 0 and 1 of the Mode Control register both  
'0'). The Programming Flag is cleared when the Programming register is written to by the host. When the  
corresponding programming action has been completed (normally within 250µs) the CMX138A will set the  
flag back to 1 to indicate that it is now safe to write the next programming value. The Programming  
register must not be written to while the Programming Flag bit is 0. Programming is performed by writing a  
sequence of 16-bit words to the Programming register in the order shown in the following tables. Writing  
data to the Programming register MUST be performed in the order shown for each of the blocks, however  
the order in which the blocks are written is not critical. If later words in a block do not require updating the  
user may stop programming that block when the last change has been performed. e.g: If only 'Fine Output  
Gain 1' needs to be changed the host will need to write to P4.0, P4.1 and P4.2 only.  
The user must not exceed the defined word counts for each block. P4.8 is allocated for production testing  
and must not be accessed in normal operation.  
The high order bits of each word define which block the word belongs to, and if it is the first word of that  
block:

($C1), de/pre-emphasis is enabled in the Audio Control register ($C2) and this bit (b0) is set to '1'; signals  
going to the In-band tone detector are de-emphasised in accordance with Figure 7 of the datasheet. This  
combination of settings should only be used in Rx mode. If this bit is set, then in Tx mode, the user is  
advised to clear the de/pre-emphasis bit in the Audio Control register ($C2).

N = Integer part of (0.042666 x frequency)  
R = (0.042666 x frequency - N) x 6000 / frequency (round to nearest integer).  
Example: For 1010Hz, N = 43, R = 1. The programmed tones must only be set to frequencies from 288Hz  
to 3000Hz (R MUST NOT exceed 31 decimal).

loss of sub-audio is asserted. The period is set according to the formula:  
Time = Sub-audio Drop Out Time 8.0ms  
[range 0 to 120ms]  
The setting of this register defines the maximum drop out time that the device can tolerate. The setting of  
this register also determines the de-response time, which is typically 90ms longer than the programmed  
drop out time.

The Programmed value is subtracted from the output signal. Can be used to compensate for inherent  
offsets in the output path via AUDIO (Output 1 Offset) and MOD (Output 2 Offset). It is recommended that  
the offset correction is kept within the range +/-50mV. This adjustment occurs before the coarse output  
gain adjustment (register $B1), therefore an alteration to the latter register will require a compensation to  
be made to the output offsets.

Limiter Setting, Resolution = AVDD / 16384 per LSB  
This unsigned number sets the clipping point (maximum deviation from the centre value) for the MOD  
output. The maximum setting ($3FFF) is VBIAS (AVDD/2) i.e. output limited from 0 to AVDD.  
The limiter is set to maximum following a C-BUS Reset or a Power-Up Reset. The levels of internally  
generated signals may need to be adjusted by setting appropriate transmit levels to avoid un-intentional  
limiting. The limiter is active whenever either of the 12.5 or 25kHz Channel filters are selected (both in Rx  
or Tx).

b7-0 set the order of the Audio Filter processing. This feature can be used to optimise the signal to noise  
performance of particular radio hardware designs. Each filter/process block can be specified in any order.  
Each two-bit field specifies the order in which the process will be executed in Tx mode, therefore it is  
imperative that each set of bit fields be different. The reverse sequence is used in Rx mode. The voice  
filter and soft limiter will always be implemented as the final block in the Tx sequence.

AVDD = 3.3V.  
Use of a scrambler inversion frequency other than 3300Hz will shift the  
scrambled voice signal outside the audio band, so that some of the signal will  
be lost in the channel filter. The result is that the descrambled voice signal will  
have a restricted bandwidth. The limits quoted are subjective and relate to the  
onset of a loss of speech intelligibility.

3. Commands are acted upon at the end of each command (rising edge of CSN).  
4. To allow for differing µC serial interface formats C-BUS compatible ICs are able to work with  
SCLK pulses starting and ending at either polarity.  
5. Maximum 30pF load on IRQN pin and each C-BUS interface line.  
These timings are for the latest version of C-BUS and allow faster transfers than the original C-BUS timing  
specification. The CMX138A can be used in conjunction with devices that comply with the slower timings,  
subject to system throughput constraints.
