The MX014 Voice Band Inverter gives the security of private voice communications to land mobile radio users, as well as
to the users of other shared radio channel systems. Designed for use in half-duplex systems, the MX014 exchanges high
and low frequencies in the voiceband and renders transmitted messages unintelligible. This privacy function is achieved
by a single frequency inversion. When used with CTCSS,
PvtSQUELCH
TM
privacy adapter operation is achieved.
Sharp cut-off in the internal voiceband filters permits operation with CTCSS and similar sub-audio signaling schemes. This
results in high quality recovered audio.
The core of the MX014 consists of two audio band pass filters and a balanced modulator. The device uses a
programmable clock divider which controls the carrier and filter cut-off frequencies. Control of the RX/TX, PTL and
privacy function is by pin selection.
The MX014 operates from a single 5V supply and uses a 4 MHz crystal oscillator to ensure the correct pitch in recovered
speech. Signal coupling and decoupling are the only external components needed. The device is available in 24-pin
PLCC (MX014LH), 24-pin PDIP (MX014P) and 24-pin CDIP (MX014J) packages.

Description
An external 4MHz clock can be applied to this input. The clock circuit on chip has a resistor
and capacitors so that only one external crystal is required.
This is the inverted 4MHz clock output for use when a crystal oscillator is used, or as a buffer
for driving other clocked devices.
Push To Talk is an input with a 3MΩ pull-down resistor.
This is the inverted PTT output. It has a 100kΩ output impedance.
Push To Listen is an input with a 3MΩ pull-down resistor.

Push To Listen
is the inverted output of PTL; it has a 100kΩ output impedance.
RX Audio Enable is an input with a 3MΩ pull-down resistor.
RXAUDEN

RX Audio Enable
is the inverted output of RX Audio Enable; it has a 100kΩ output impedance.
Privacy Enable controls the input action of the balanced modulator by switching the carrier
clock. When audio signals are inverted, the signal path gain is adjusted automatically to
compensate for the upper sideband loss. It contains a 3MΩ pull-down resistor.
This is the receive audio output pin. It is biased at V
DD
/2 when in the TX mode.
This is the “send” voice output pin. It is biased at V
DD
/2 when in RX mode.
The negative supply pin (ground).
For a gain of one in the RX Output stage, these two pins are wire linked together. However,
if gain is introduced at the RX input, attenuation may be introduced at the RX Output using
these pins and two resistors.
The pre-emphasis circuit has a 10dB gain at 1 kHz. Additional gain, or attenuation can
be introduced as in the RX path.
This is the internally generated V
DD
/2 decoupling pin.
This filter is the output of the Input Audio BPF and must be a.c. coupled into the Balanced
Modulator Input through a 0.1µF capacitor.
This is the input to the balanced modulator. It must be a.c. coupled to the Filter Output.
This is a negative input of an op-amp at the input of the RX path. It can be used, along with
RX Audio Feedback and two external resistors, to increase the signal to its optimum level prior
to frequency inversion/filtering. This may improve the S/N.
RX Audio Feedback is the output of an op-amp at the input of the RX path. See RXIN.
The negative input of an op-amp at the input of the TX path. It can be used, along with TX
Audio Feedback and two external resistors, to increase the signal to its optimum level prior to
frequency inversion/filtering. This may improve S/N.
TX Audio Feedback is the output of an op-amp at the input of the TX path. See TXIN.
The positive supply pin.

Table 2: Gain and Attentuation Calculations
Recommended External Component Notes:
1. Component Values: C1- C3 = 0.1 µF, C4 = 1.0 µF, X1 = 4 MHz crystal
2. R1 to R12 values will depend on the configuration and the gain or attenuation required. However R1, R3, R5, R7,
and R11 should be 100 kΩ or greater. To add gain or attenuate, use R5-R12 as shown. See pin descriptions for
more information.
3. For best results, a crystal oscillator design should drive the clock inverter input with signal levels of at least 40% of
VDD, peak to peak. Tuning fork crystals generally cannot meet this requirement. To obtain crystal oscillator
design assistance, consult your crystal manufacturer.
