MX614
Data
µC
The MX614 is a low voltage, low power CMOS integrated circuit designed for the reception or transmission of
asynchronous 1200bps data. This device is compatible with Bell 202 type systems. The MX614 supports
5bps and 150bps 'back channel' operation. Asynchronous data rates up to 1818bps are also supported.
The MX614 provides an optional Tx and Rx data retiming function which can eliminate, based on user
preference, the need for a UART in the associated
µC
when operating at 1200bps. An optional line equalizer
has been incorporated into the receive path and is controlled by an external logic level.
The MX614 may be used in a wide range of telephone telemetry systems. A very low current “Zero Power
Mode (1µA typ.) and an operating current of 1mA typ. @ V
DD
= 3.3V, make the MX614 ideal for portable,
terminal and line powered applications. A standard 3.58MHz Xtal/Clock is required and the device operates
from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply.
The MX614 is available in 24-pin TSSOP (MX614TN), 16-pin SOIC (MX614DW) and 16-pin PDIP (MX614P)
packages.

1.
IMPORTANT:
This device is capable of detecting and decoding small amplitude signals. To achieve
this V
DD
and V
BIAS
decoupling and protecting the receive path from extraneous in-band signals are very
important. It is recommended that the decoupling capacitors be placed so that connections between
them and the device pins are as short as practicable e.g.
≤
1 inch from device pins. A ground plane
protecting the receive path will help attenuate interfering signals
2. A crystal frequency of 3.579545MHz
±0.1%
is required for correct FSK operation. For best results, a
crystal oscillator design should drive the clock inverter input with signal levels of at least 40% of V
DD
peak-peak. Tuning fork crystals generally cannot meet this requirement. To obtain crystal oscillator
design assistance, consult your crystal manufacturer.
