CMX865A – DTMF Codec/FSK Combo
The CMX865A is a DTMF Codec/FSK Combo multi-standard modem for use in Wireless Local Loop, including Fixed Wireless Terminals and Fixed Wireless Phone installations and Short Message Service telephone systems.
Flexible line driver, hybrid and receiver circuits are integrated on chip, requiring only passive external components to build a 2 or 4-wire line interface.
POTS Signalling
A high-quality DTMF decoder with excellent immunity to falsing-on-voice, and a standard DTMF encoder are included. Alternatively, these blocks can be used to transmit and detect user-specific: programmed single and dual-tone signals, simple melodies, call progress signals or modem calling and answering tones.
Devices are available through our Distributor Network.

CMX865 and CMX865A FAQ
Q. CMX865A: The DTMF de-response is given as 30ms max but I measure more than this on some DTMF digits under certain conditions.
A. The de-response time of the DTMF decoder is correct.
The programmer cannot see the DTMF response/de-response directly. What the programmer sees is b5 which loosely tracks the DTMF decoder response.
When a DTMF digit ends, the DTMF decoder will de-respond and some time later b5 will signal this by going low.
To allow for polling, the minimum time that b5 is high is 14ms. To ensure that short DTMF digits with short gaps between can be detected in the code, b5 will de-respond when energy from the following tone is detected. Under these conditions the maximum high time for b5 is 30ms. This maximum high time is called the DTMF de-response time.
Note that with longer DTMF tones and longer gaps, b5 can be high for more than 30ms.
This downloadable graphic shows the response of b5 in a number of different receive scenarios.
Q. Can you detail the differences of the CMX865A with respect to the CMX865?
A. The listings below should help you:
CMX865A Advantages over CMX865
- Smaller package, less pins = smaller footprint
- Pin count reduced from 24 to 16
- V.21 function added
- No MOQ
CMX865A Functional Difference from the CMX865
- The RT and RD pins are removed. The ring detector function is not required in Wireless Local Loops and most alarm systems.
This function is easily provided by a GPI/O pin on the host micrprocessor.
Schematics are available from CML Tech Support. - The hookswitch pin is not present. This is a simple output function that is more cost-effective when moved to the host processor.
- The receiver interface has been simplified by making it single-ended.
The internal hybrid function eliminates the need for a differential receiver. - V.21 transceive capability has been instated for alarm panels and other niche applications
- 6.144MHz operation only
Development Support
- A series of Application Notes to assist with design-ins to the target markets
- Can be evaluated in the EV8600 Modem Evaluation Kit
Summary
- The CMX865A is designed to interface easily to a SLIC.
All of the transmit signals are summed within the device and there is a register for software setting the output signal level (the same as the CMX865). The output can be single-ended or differential. - The outputs tri-state automatically when the modem is not being used thus providing a high impedance to the line. This allows simple mixing of other signals, such as voice.
- The input is single-ended with a gain-setting, feedback path for convenience.
Like the CMX865, the CMX865A also has a software controlled attenuator. - The CMX865A will provide exactly the same signalling as the CMX865 and is directly register compatible
- The operating voltage is the same as the CMX865 but the operating current is expected to be slightly lower

CMX8xx: Short Message Service (SMS) Implementation using CML Products
This document aims to assist modem product designers using and understanding Short Message Service (SMS) applications. CML Microcircuits' (CML) integrated circuit devices (CMX85x and CMX86x) could be used to realize and achieve a Caller Line Identification (CLI), SMS or Low Rate Messaging Service (LRMS) data transfer within a wireline system.
CLI with the CMX860, CMX865/A, CMX867/A and CMX868/A
Caller Line ID (CLI) was originally developed for the US market but has become commonplace throughout the World because of its multitudinous applications. There are a number of CLI protocols to which telephone equipment manufacturers must comply. This document gives an overview of two types; BELL GR-30-CORE/SR-TSV-002476 (or ETSI 300 659-1 section 6.1.1) used in the USA and most of the world and Caller Line Identification Presentation (CLIP) BT SIN 227 (or ETSI ETS 300 659-1 section 6.1.2c) used in the UK.
Recommendations for V.23 1200/75 b/s duplex call set-up
V.23 recommendations do not describe how a connection is established; a procedure is described below and illustrated in Figure 1; however you should not rely on other modems following this particular flow. Note also that 1200/1200 bps half-duplex connections are not covered by this application note.
CMX865A: Addressing SIA Protocols with the CMX865A
Security alarm panels are used around the world as a cost-effective means of protecting people and property. The Security Industry Association (SIA)1, a trade organization that represents security market companies, has developed protocols that describe the communications link used by these panels. DTMF tones, pulsed tones, and frequency-shift keying (FSK) are common signaling methods used throughout these SIA protocols. The CMX865A low-power wireline modem can be easily configured to perform these SIA protocols making it attractive for security panel applications. The purpose of this document is to describe how the CMX865A can be made to perform SIA communication protocols.
