Brief Description
CMX881, a full-function half-duplex audio and signalling processor IC for both PMR and Trunked radio
systems suitable for complex and simple end-designs. Under the control of the host µC, all voiceband
requirements are catered for: voiceband and sub-audio filtering, pre/de-emphasis and audio routing and
global level setting with single or two-point modulation in the transmit path.
The combination of CTCSS and DCS functions and Selcall operation of this product offer, under software
control, increased functionality, versatility and privacy.
To cater for call setup and system signalling the CMX881 provides an embedded 1200/2400 bps
MSK/FFSK free-format modem for text messaging/paging, passing GPS location data with checksum
generation and reception and sync detection in the Rx path.
