73M223
1200 Baud FSK Modem
February 1998
DESCRIPTION
The 73M223 modem device receives and transmits
serial and binary data over existing telephone
networks using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK). It
provides the filtering, modulation, and demodulation
to implement a serial, asynchronous data
communication channel. The 73M223 employs the
CCITT V.23 signaling frequencies of 1302 and 2097
Hz, operating at 1200 baud, and is intended for half
duplex operation over a two-line system.
The 73M223 provides a cost-effective alternative to
existing modem solutions. It is ideally suited for R.F.
data links, credit verification systems, point-of-sale
terminals, and remote process control.
CMOS technology ensures small size, low-power
consumption and enhanced reliability.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 73M223 has four main functional sections:
timing, transmit, receive, and test. Each section of
the chip will be individually described below.
TIMING
The timing section contains the oscillator (OSC) and
logic which generates digital timing signals used
throughout the chip. The time base can be derived
from 3.18 MHz crystal or an external digital input.
The digital timing logic divides the oscillator
frequency to give a 1200 Hz output than can be
used for system timing. The signaling frequencies
are 1302 Hz for logic “1” and 2097 Hz for logic “0.”
The modem will operate with clock inputs from 330
kHz to 7.0 MHz. However, the signaling frequencies
and the system timing will be directly proportional to
the difference in clock frequency.
TRANSMITTER
The 73M223 transmitter consists of a programmable
divider that drives a coherent phase frequency
synthesizer. The programmable divider is digitally
controlled via the Data Input pin (TXD). The output
of the divider clocks a 16 segment phase coherent
frequency synthesizer. A sine wave is constructed
by eight weighted capacitors which are the inputs to
a low pass filter. The synthesized signal is output
directly to the transmit pin TXA. The transmit signal
can be disabled by using the digital control pin
7;.
RECEIVER
The 73M223’s receiver is comprised of three
sections:
the
input
bandpass
filter,
the
synchronization loop, and the demodulator.
The input bandpass filter is a four pole Butterworth
filter, implemented using switched capacitor
technology. This filter reduces wideband noise which
significantly improves data error rates. The 73M223
can be configured with the bandpass filter in series
with the receiver by setting FIL = 1 and inserting the
received
signal
at
RXF
(recommended
configuration). The bandpass filter can be deleted
from the system by setting FIL = 0 and inputting the
received signal through RXA.
The demodulator is used to detect a received mark
or space.
The synchronization for sampling the digital output at
RXD is derived from a digital phase locked loop. The
phase locked loop is clocked at 16 times the bit rate
with a maximum lock period of 8 clocks to lock on
the data output signal. When
6<1
is low the output
of SYNC is nominally 1200 Hz, but is resynchronized
to the center of the data bit on each data transition.
When
6<1
is high, SYNC will output a 1200 Hz
clock, which is not synchronized to the data on RXD.
SELF TEST MODE
The 73M223 features an autotest mode which
provides easy field test capability of the chip’s
functionality. The modem is placed in the test mode
by taking the test pin high. In the test mode the Data
Input pin is disconnected and the programmable
divider is driven by a pseudo random PN sequence
generator and the transmitter’s output is connected
to the receiver’s input. The input data to the
programmable divider is delayed by the system
delay time and compared to the digital output on
sync transitions. If the detected data matches the
delayed input data from the PN sequence counter,
the 73M223 is properly functioning as indicated by
RXD low. A high on the RXD pin indicates a
functional problem on the 73M223.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The 73M223 modem chip allows low cost
communications in a private network, utilizing
twisted pair telephone wires. This chip is the prime
choice of those designers who require an efficient,
high performance modem solution for dedicated
private networks, HDX dial-up and other specialized
applications. Such applications include credit
verification systems, point-of-sale terminals, remote
process control, satellite and RF telemetery, private
data links and acoustic modem designs. No
microprocessors or external adjustments are
necessary with this device.
Utilizing a crystal input of 3.1872 MHz*, the 73M223
is a V.23 main channel 1200 Baud, FSK modem.
The signaling frequencies generated are 1302 Hz for
a logic “1” and 2097 Hz for a logic “0.” Crystals with
frequencies varying between 330 kHz to 7.0 MHz or
higher can be used. The baud rate and signaling
frequencies vary linearly with variation in crystal
frequency. If compatibility with V.23 is not required, a
color burst 3.579 MHz crystal can be used as long
as the other modem uses the same frequency offset.
A typical implementation on the 73M223 is shown in
the figure below. A 73M1550 UART receives data to
be transmitted from a microprocessor bus. The
UART sends the data in a serial format to the
73M223 modem after inserting the necessary start
and stop bits. The modem transmits this data to the
far end via the TXA pin. Full-duplex operation can be
implemented by utilizing separate transmit and
receive circuits. A USART can be used instead of a
UART if synchronous operation is desired. With
synchronous operation, a USART uses the modem’s
SYNC signal for timing to sample the received data,
and the modem’s CLK signal for timing to send data
to be transmitted.
