CML has enhanced the facilities and improved the performance of its CMX850 single-chip communications controller.
Enhanced baseband codec for modern digital radio
The CMX981 is an extremely-low-power advanced digital-radio baseband processor, combined on-chip with a voice codec/processor and an audio PA.
All chip functions, including signal modes, frequencies, gains and routing can be addressed, investigated and adjusted using the custom graphical interface running on the PC.
Evaluation settings may also be saved for reloading as and when required.
Controlled by an onboard reprogrammable PIC microcontroller, the EV8810 kit is supplied with evaluation firmware, evaluation software and PIC reprogramming software.
This unique method, developed by CML, will allow fast access via the parallel interface (a function available to facilitate stand-alone operation and the investigation of custom designs).
Using the companion user-manual and the relevant IC's technical datasheet, the designer can rapidly understand and manipulate the features and functions of either product.
The PCB is supplied with a socketed target IC, with many links and test points on the board to enable signal, control and level monitoring and measurement.
An onboard audio power amplifier is provided for headphone and loudspeaker output via a jack socket.
Tx voice-audio performance can be investigated via line input or an onboard "electret" type microphone.
