The MX375 is a CMOS LSI microcircuit which combines CTCSS Encode/Decode operation with voice band frequency
inversion. Frequency inversion is achieved by modulating the input audio with a 3333 Hz carrier frequency. Higher voice
band frequencies are translated downward, and lower frequencies upward, resulting in a “mirror image” voice
transmission.
PvtSQUELCH™
combines CTCSS with inverted speech to prevent users from understanding each other’s
communications unless the transmissions are accompanied by the group’s assigned tone. Its net effect is to eliminate
casual eavesdropping and give mobile radio users a certain degree of privacy at a minimal price. Up to 38
PvtSQUELCH
user groups (one per CTCSS tone) can share a single radio channel. With
PvtSQUELCH,
competing businesses can
share a radio channel without compromising communications security.
Device features: 1) serial or parallel tone programming capability (serial or parallel offered on MX375J, P & LH8), 2) the
ability to operate under NOTONE conditions, 3) on-chip Tx and Rx audio filtering, 4) pin-selectable Private/Clear
operation, and 5) pre/deemphasis filters in the Tx path, for optimal recovered audio quality.
A low-cost 4 MHz crystal/clock and a single 5V supply are required for operation. The MX375 is available in the following
package styles: 28-pin PDIP (MX375P), 28-pin CDIP (MX375J) 28-pin PLCC (MX375LH8), and
24-pin PLCC (MX375LH).

5V supply pin.
This is the input to the clock oscillator inverter. An external 4 MHz Xtal or
clock input should be applied to this pin.
This is the 4 MHz output of the clock oscillator inverter.
This input controls the eight input latches: RX/ TX ,
PrivateEnable
, and
D0-D5, as detailed in Table 5. Alternatively, the RX/ TX and
PrivateEnable
inputs can be addressed separately by setting the
Load/
Latch
and Control inputs as shown in Table 5. 1 MΩ pullup.

Programming Inputs (Serial Mode Only): These are the RX /TX tone
programming and function inputs which enable the serial programming
mode. With Load/
Latch
at logic “0” serial data is loaded in the following
sequence: D5, D4, D3, D2, D1, D0, RX/ TX ,
PrivateEnable
. When these
8 bits have been clocked in on the rising clock edge, data is latched by
strobing the Load/
Latch
input “0 - 1 - 0” (See Figure 5).
Pin 5 (D4) =
Serial Enable2
Pin 6 (D3) = Serial Data Input
Pin 7 (D2) = Serial Clock Input
4-9
D5-D0
input
Parallel Programming Inputs: These are the RX/ TX tone programming
and function inputs which select the CTCSS tone (See Table 4).
For both Serial and Parallel Modes:
In RX, a NOTONE program enables
RX Audio Output and forces the RX Tone Decode Output to a logic “0”.
In TX, a NOTONE program generates a constant V
BIAS
-0.7V condition at
the TX Tone Output pin. Each input has a 1 MΩ pullup resistor.
The gated output of the decode comparator. In RX, a logic “0” indicates a
valid CTCSS tone decode condition, or the presence of NOTONE
programming. A logic “0” enables the RX audio path. In TX, this output is
held at logic “1”.
The voltage level at this pin is compared internally with a fixed reference
level. A greater input level compared to the reference will result in a logic
“0” at the RX Tone Decode output. This input should be externally
connected to the RX Tone Detect output via external integration
components C10, R2, R3, and D1 (see Figure 2).
In RX, this pin outputs a logical “1” when a valid programmed CTCSS
tone is received at the RX TONE INPUT. This input should be externally
connected to the Decode Comparator input via external integration
components C10, R2, R3, and D1 (see Figure 2).
This pin outputs a logic “0” when a Notone CTCSS code has been
programmed in RX. It is typically used to enable carrier squelch circuits
under Notone RX conditions.
The negative supply pin (ground).
The buffered CTCSS sinewave tone output appears on this pin. In TX
mode, the tone frequency is selected by program code (see Table 4); if
NOTONE is programmed, the output is at Vbias-0.7V. In RX mode, the
output goes open circuit. This is an emitter follower output with an
internal 10 kΩ load.

The “press to listen” function input. In RX mode, a logic “0” enables the
RX Audio Output directly, overriding tone squelch but not intercepting a
private conversation; in TX mode, a logic “0” reverses the phase of the TX
Tone Output for “squelch tail” reduction (see Table 5).
This input, together with Load/

, selects the operational mode of the
RX/ TX and
PrivateEnable
functions. See Table 5
