The MX589 is a single-chip synchronous modem designed for Wireless Data Applications. Employing
Gaussian Minimum shift Keying (GMSK) baseband modulation, the MX589 features a wide range of available
data rates: 4k to 64kbps. Data Rates and the choice of BT (0.3 or 0.5) are pin programmable to provide for
different system requirements.
The Tx and Rx digital data interfaces are bit serial, synchronized to Tx and Rx data clocks generated by the
modem. Separate Tx and Rx Powersave inputs allow full or half-duplex operation. Rx input levels can be set
by suitable AC and DC level adjusting circuitry built with external components around an on-chip Rx Input
Amplifier.
Acquisition, Lock, and Hold of Rx data signals are made easier and faster by the use of Rx Control Inputs to
clamp, detect, and /or hold input data levels and can be set by the
µProcessor
as required. The Rx S/N
output provides an indication of the quality of the received signal.
The MX589 may be used with a 3.0V to 5.5V power supply and is available in the following packages: 24-pin
TSSOP (MX589TN), 24-pin SOIC (MX589DW), and 24-pin PDIP (MX589P).
