Example: CMX980A in a TETRA System Application
This device is intended to act as an interface between the analog and digital sections of a Digital Radio
System, and performs many critical and DSP-intensive functions. The chip is designed with the necessary
capability to meet the requirements for use in both mobile and base station applications in Terrestrial Trunked
Radio (TETRA) systems, but the architecture is sufficiently flexible to allow use in other systems.
The transmit path comprises all the circuitry required to convert digital data into suitably filtered analog
I and Q signals for subsequent up-conversion and transmission. This includes digital control of the output
amplitudes, digital control of the output offsets and fully programmable digital filters: default coefficients
provide the RRC response required for TETRA.
The receive section accepts differential analog I and Q signals at baseband and converts these into a suitably
filtered digital form for further processing and data extraction. A facility is provided for digital offset correction
and the digital filters are fully programmable with default coefficients providing the RRC response required for
TETRA.
Auxiliary DAC and ADC functions are included for the control and measurement of the RF section of the radio
system. This may include AFC, AGC, RSSI, or may be used as part of the control system for a Cartesian
Loop.
The CMX980A requires a 3.0V to 5.0V supply and is available in the following packages: 44-pin PLCC
(CMX980AL6) and 44-pin QFP (CMX980AL7).
