FRS Signalling Processor
CMX883
6. The circuit formed by D1, C9, C10, R9 and R10 is a peak detector only required when the signal
monitor is connected to an ac signal (e.g. microphone or received signal). For a dc type signal (e.g.
RSSI) these components are not required. The values of C9 and R10 set the attack time, C9 and
R9 set the decay time. D1 can be any suitable small signal diode. R10 should be a high enough
value so as not to distort the signal source.

It is important to protect the analogue pins from extraneous inband noise and to minimise the impedance
between the CMX883 and the supply and bias de-coupling capacitors. The de-coupling capacitors C11,
C12, C13 and C14 should be as close as possible to the CMX883, particularly C11 and C13. It is
therefore recommended that the printed circuit board is laid out with separate ground planes for the
VSS(A) and VSS(D) in the area of the CMX883, with provision to make a link between them close to the
CMX883.
VBIAS is used as an internal reference for detecting and generating the various analogue signals. It must
be carefully decoupled, to ensure its integrity, so apart from the decoupling capacitor shown, no other
loads should be connected. If VBIAS needs to be used to set the discriminator mid-point reference, it
must be buffered with a high input impedance buffer.
The single ended microphone input(s) and audio output must be ac coupled as shown, so their return
paths can be connected to VSS(A) without introducing dc offsets. Further buffering of the audio output is
advised.
The crystal X1 can be replaced with an external clock source if required/desired. The internal clock
generating circuit can be placed in power-save mode if the clock is provided externally.
