Data

The MX604 is a low voltage, low power CMOS device, used for the reception or transmission of asynchronous
1200bps data and full-duplex 75bps back channel data in accordance with CCITT V.23 and ETSI
specifications.
This device provides an optional Tx and Rx data retiming function which can eliminate, based on user
preference, the need for an external UART when operating at 1200bps. The device can disable the back
channel or be operated so only the mark or space tone is produced. The optional line equalizer is
incorporated into the receive path and is controlled by an external logic level.
The MX604 may be used in a wide range of telephone telemetry systems. Low voltage capability, a low
operating current (1mA typ. @ V
DD
= 3.3V), and a very low current 'sleep' mode (1A typ.) make the MX604
ideal for both portable terminal and line powered applications.
The MX604 is available in the following packages: 24-pin TSSOP (MX604TN), 16-pin SOIC (MX604DW) and
16-pin PDIP (MX604P).

This device is capable of detecting and decoding small amplitude signals. Achieving the V
DD
and V
BIAS
decoupling and protection of the receive path from extraneous in-band signals is very important. It is
recommended that decoupling capacitors be placed so the connection between them and the device pins is
as short as possible. A ground plane protecting the receive path will help attenuate interfering signals.

General Description
Xtal Osc and Clock Dividers
Frequency and timing accuracy of the MX604 is determined by a 3.579545MHz clock present at the
XTAL/CLOCK pin. This may be generated by the on-chip oscillator inverter using the external components
C1, C2 and X1 of Figure 2, or it may be supplied from an external source to the XTAL/CLOCK input. If
supplied from an external source, C1, C2 and X1 should not be used.
The on-chip oscillator is disabled in the 'Zero-Power' mode.
If the clock is provided by an external source which is not always running, then the 'Zero-Power' mode must
be set when the clock is not available. Failure to observe this rule may cause a significant rise in the supply
current drawn by MX604 as well as generating undefined states of the RXD, DET and RDY outputs.
