1.1 Brief Description
The CMX860 is a flexible, low-power Telephone Signalling Transceiver IC, designed for use in a wide
range of line-powered telephone equipment. The IC combines the functions of a DTMF encoder and
decoder, V.23 / Bell 202 modulator and demodulator plus call progression circuitry with analogue
switching between line and phone interfaces. Ring detection, local phone off-hook detection and a relay
driver for line hook-switch operation are also provided under the control of 'C-BUS'. The ring and hook
detectors operate whilst the remainder of the IC is powersaved, generating an interrupt to wake-up the
host µC when further processing or signalling is required.
All on-chip functions and switching arrangements are controlled via a serial bus ('C-BUS'). The CMX860
is designed to operate at 2.7V and utilises CML’s low power DTMF decoder and V.23 / Bell 202 modem
technology. It is available in 28-pin SOIC (D1), TSSOP (E1) and SSOP (D6) packages.

Figure 2a Recommended External Components for a Typical Application
This device is capable of detecting and decoding small amplitude signals. To achieve this DVDD, AVDD
and VBIAS should be decoupled and the receive path protected from extraneous in-band signals. It is
recommended that the printed circuit board is laid out with both AVSS and DVSS ground planes in the
CMX860 area, as shown in Figure 2b, with provision to make a link between them close to the CMX860.
To provide a low impedance connection to ground, the decoupling capacitors (C3 – C7) must be mounted
as close to the CMX860 as possible and connected directly to their respective ground plane. This will be
achieved more easily by using surface mounted capacitors.
VBIAS is used as an internal reference for detecting and generating the various analogue signals. It must
be carefully decoupled, to ensure its integrity. Apart from the decoupling capacitor shown (C3), no other
loads are allowed. If VBIAS needs to be used to set external analogue levels, it must be buffered with a
high input impedance buffer.
The DVSS connections to the Xtal oscillator capacitors C1 and C2 should also be of low impedance and
preferably be part of the DVSS ground plane to ensure reliable start up of the oscillator.

1.4.1 Ring Detector Interface
Figure 3 shows how the CMX860 may be used to detect the large amplitude ringing signal voltage
present on the 2-wire line at the start of an incoming telephone call.
The ring signal is usually applied at the subscriber's exchange as an ac voltage inserted in series with one
of the telephone wires and will pass through either C20 and R20 or C21 and R21 to appear at the top end
of R22 (point X in Figure 3) in a rectified and attenuated form.
The signal at point X is further attenuated by the potential divider formed by R22 and R23 before being
applied to the CMX860 RD input. If the amplitude of the signal appearing at RD is greater than the input
threshold (Vthi) of Schmitt trigger 'A' then the N transistor connected to RT will be turned on, pulling the
voltage at RT to DVSS by discharging the external capacitor C22. The output of the Schmitt trigger 'B' will
then go high, setting bit 14 (Ring Detect) of the Status Register.
The minimum amplitude ringing signal that is certain to be detected is:
( 0.7 + Vthi x [R20 + R22 + R23] / R23 ) x 0.707 Vrms
where Vthi is the high-going threshold voltage of the Schmitt trigger A (see section 1.7.1).
With R20 - R22 all 470kΩ as Figure 3, then setting R23 to 68kΩ will guarantee detection of ringing signals
of 40Vrms and above for DVDD over the range 3V to 5V.

Telephone Signalling Transceiver / Least Cost Router CMX860
© 2008 CML Microsystems Plc 11 D/860/7
If the time constant of R24 and C22 is large enough then the voltage on RT will remain below the
threshold of the 'B' Schmitt trigger for the duration of a ring cycle.
The time for the voltage on RT to charge from DVSS towards DVDD can be derived from the formula:
VRT = DVDD x [1 - exp(-t/(R24 x C22)) ]
As the Schmitt trigger high-going input threshold voltage (Vthi) has a minimum value of 0.56 x DVDD, then
the Schmitt trigger B output will remain high for a time of at least 0.821 x R24 x C22 following a pulse at
RD.
The values of R24 and C22 given in Figure 3 (470kΩ and 0.33μF) give a minimum RT charge time of 100
msec, which is adequate for ring frequencies of 10Hz or above.
Note that the circuit will also respond to a telephone line voltage reversal. If necessary the μC can
distinguish between a Ring signal and a line voltage reversal by measuring the time that bit 14 of the
Status Register (Ring Detect) is high.
If the Ring detect function is not used then pin RD should be connected to DVSS and RT to DVDD.
1.4.2 Hook Detector Interface
This is identical internally to the Ring Detector interface circuit and similar components could be used
externally, with appropriate values, if hook detection is to be performed by detecting a voltage change
across the tip and ring lines to the local phone.
1.4.3 RESETN pin
When this pin is taken low, it performs the same operation as a C-BUS General Reset command. As a
consequence the device will enter the powersaved state. Refer to section 1.5.12.1 (General Reset
Command) and 1.5.12.2 (General Control Register, Powerup bit) for further information.

1.5.1 Tx USART
A flexible Tx USART is provided. It can be programmed to transmit continuous patterns, Start-Stop
characters or Synchronous Data.
In both Synchronous Data and Start-stop modes the data to be transmitted is written by the µC into the 8-
bit 'C-BUS' Tx Data Register from which it is transferred to the Tx Data Buffer.
If Synchronous Data mode has been selected the 8 data bits in the Tx Data Buffer are transmitted serially,
b0 being sent first.
In Start-stop mode a single Start bit is transmitted, followed by 5, 6, 7 or 8 data bits from the Tx Data
Buffer - b0 first - followed by an optional Parity bit then - normally - one or two Stop bits. The Start, Parity
and Stop bits are generated by the USART as determined by the Tx Mode Register settings and are not
taken from the Tx Data Register.
Figure 4a Tx USART
Every time the contents of the 'C-BUS' Tx Data Register are transferred to the Tx Data Buffer the Tx Data
Ready flag bit of the Status Register is set to 1 to indicate that a new value should be loaded into the 'C-
BUS' Tx Data Register. This flag bit is cleared to 0 when a new value is loaded into the Tx Data Register.
Figure 4b Tx USART Function (Start-Stop mode, 8 Data Bits + Parity)
If a new value is not loaded into the Tx Data Register in time for the next Tx Data Register to Tx Data
Buffer transfer then the Status Register Tx Data Underflow bit will be set to 1. In this event the contents
of the Tx Data Buffer will be re-transmitted if Synchronous Data mode has been selected, or if the Tx
modem is in Start-stop mode then a continuous Stop signal (1) will be transmitted until a new value is
loaded into the Tx Data Register.
The transmitted bit rates are determined by the XTAL frequency.

1.5.2 FSK Modulator
Serial data from the USART is fed to the FSK modulator. One of two frequencies is generated according
to the current transmit data bit.
1.5.3 Tx Filter and Equaliser
The FSK modulator output signal is fed through the Transmit Filter and Equaliser block which limits the
out-of-band signal energy to acceptable limits. When transmitting 1200bps FSK, this block includes a
fixed compromise line equaliser which may be enabled or disabled by bit 10 of the General Control
Register. The amount of Tx equalisation provided compensates for one quarter of the relative amplitude
and delay distortion of ETS Test Line 1 over the frequency band used.
1.5.4 DTMF/Tones Generator
In DTMF/Tones mode this block generates DTMF signals or single or dual frequency tones.
1.5.5 Tx Level Control and Output Drivers
The CMX860 generated signal (if present) from the FSK/DTMF/Tones Generator is passed through the
programmable Tx Level Control before being passed to the switched paths controlled by the Analogue
Signal Path Register. The Tx Output Drivers have symmetrical outputs to provide sufficient line voltage
swing at low values of AVDD and to reduce harmonic distortion of the signal. The Drivers can also
transmit the signal from the other port (e.g. Phone Input to Line Driver) or can be independently set to
Bias or Powersaved – see Analogue Signal Path Register.

1.5.6 DTMF Decoder and Tone Detectors
In Rx Tones Detect mode the received signal, after passing through the Rx Gain Control block, is fed to
the DTMF decoder and Dual Tone/Call Progress/Answer Tone detector. The user may select one of four
separate operations:
The DTMF decoder detects standard DTMF signals. A valid DTMF signal will set bit 5 of the Status
Register to 1 for as long as the signal is detected. The DTMF signal is then decoded and output in bits 0
to 3 of the Status Register.
The programmable tone pair detector includes two separate tone detectors (see Figure 9a). The first
detector will set bit 6 of the Status Register for as long as a valid signal is detected, the second detector
sets bit 7, and bit 10 of the Status Register will be set when both tones are detected. The frequency and
bandwidth of each detector can be set in the Programming Register. Without programming, the default
values in the Programming Register are set for 2130 and 2750 Hz detection.
The Call Progress detector measures the amplitude of the signal at the output of a 275 Hz - 665 Hz
bandpass filter and sets bit 10 of the Status Register to 1 when the signal level exceeds the measurement
threshold.

1.5.7 Rx Modem Filter and Equaliser
When the receive part of the CMX860 is operating as a modem, the received signal is fed to a bandpass
filter to attenuate unwanted signals and to provide fixed compromise line equalisation. The line equaliser
may be enabled or disabled by bit 10 of the General Control Register and compensates for one quarter of
the relative amplitude and delay distortion of ETS Test Line 1.
A typical response of this filter, including the line equaliser, is shown in Figure 5b. The effect of external
components should also be considered in determining the overall response:

Figure 5b V.23 / Bell 202 Rx Filters
The signal level at the output of the Receive Modem Filter and Equaliser is measured in the Modem
Energy Detector block, compared to a threshold value, and the result controls bit 10 of the Status
Register.
The output of the Receive Modem Filter and Equaliser is also fed to the FSK demodulator.
1.5.8 FSK Demodulator
The FSK demodulator recognises individual frequencies as representing received ‘1’ or ‘0’ data bits:
The FSK demodulator produces a serial data bit stream which is fed to the Rx USART block, see
Figure 6a. This bit stream is also monitored for continuous ‘1010’s and for continuous 1’s. The outputs of
these pattern detectors control bits 9 and 7 respectively of the Status Register.
1.5.9 Rx Data Register and USART
The Rx USART can be programmed to treat the received data bit stream as Synchronous data or as
Start-Stop characters.
In Synchronous mode the received data bits are all fed into the Rx Data Buffer which is copied into the
'C-BUS' Rx Data Register after every 8 bits.
In Start-stop mode the USART Control logic looks for the start of each character, then feeds only the
required number of data bits (not parity) into the Rx Data Buffer. The parity bit (if used) and the presence
Telephone Signalling Transceiver / Least Cost Router CMX860
© 2008 CML Microsystems Plc 17 D/860/7
of a Stop bit are then checked and the data bits in the Rx Data Buffer copied to the 'C-BUS' Rx Data
Register.
Figure 6a Rx Modem Data Paths
Whenever a new character is copied into the 'C-BUS' Rx Data Register, the Rx Data Ready flag bit of the
Status Register is set to 1 to prompt the µC to read the new data, and, in Start-stop mode, the Even Rx
Parity flag bit of the Status Register is updated.
In Start-stop mode, if the Stop bit is missing (received as a ‘0’ instead of a ‘1’) the received character will
still be placed into the Rx Data Register and the Rx Data Ready flag bit set, but the Status Register Rx
Framing Error bit will also be set to ‘1’ and the USART will re-synchronise onto the next ‘1’ – ‘0’ (Stop –
Start) transition. The Rx Framing Error bit will remain set until the next character has been received.
Figure 6b Rx USART Function (Start-stop mode, 8 Data Bits + Parity)
If the µC has not read the previous data from the Rx Data Register by the time that new data is copied to
it from the Rx Data Buffer then the Rx Data Overflow flag bit of the Status Register will be set to 1.
The Rx Data Ready flag and Rx Data Overflow bits are cleared to 0 when the Rx Data Register is read by
the µC.
Telephone Signalling Transceiver / Least Cost Router CMX860
© 2008 CML Microsystems Plc 18 D/860/7
1.5.10 Rx Modem Pattern Detectors
The '1010' pattern detector will set bit 9 of the Status Register when 32 bits of alternating 1's and 0's have
been received. The continuous 1's detector will set bit 7 of the Status Register when 32 consecutive 1's
have been received. Both pattern detectors will hold their 'detect' output for 12 bit times after the end of
the detected pattern unless the received bit rate or operating mode is changed, in which case the
detectors are reset within 2ms.
1.5.11 Analogue Signal Routing
The routing of signals to and from the Line and Phone interfaces is performed by bits 0 to 4 of the
Analogue Signal Path Register. Please note that bits 5 to 7 of this register are reserved for future use and
should be set to zero.
Telephone Signalling Transceiver / Least Cost Router CMX860

1.5.12 'C-BUS' Interface
This block provides for the transfer of data and control or status information between the CMX860’s
internal registers and the µC over the 'C-BUS' serial bus. Each transaction consists of a single Register
Address byte sent from the µC which may be followed by one or more data byte(s) sent from the µC to be
written into one of the CMX860’s Write Only Registers, or one or more byte(s) of data read out from one
of the CMX860’s Read Only Registers, as illustrated in Figure 7.
Data sent from the µC on the Command Data line is clocked into the CMX860 on the rising edge of the
Serial Clock input. Reply Data sent from the CMX860 to the µC is valid when the Serial Clock is high.
The CSN line must be held low during a data transfer and kept high between transfers. The 'C-BUS'
interface is compatible with most common µC serial interfaces and may also be easily implemented with
general purpose µC I/O pins controlled by a simple software routine. Figure 13 gives detailed 'C-BUS'
timing requirements.
The following 'C-BUS' addresses and registers are used by the CMX860:
General Reset Command (address only, no data). Address $01
General Control Register, 16-bit write only. Address $E0
Transmit Mode Register, 16-bit write-only. Address $E1
Receive Mode Register, 16-bit write-only. Address $E2
Transmit Data Register, 8-bit write only. Address $E3
Receive Data Register, 8-bit read-only. Address $E5
Status Register, 16-bit read-only. Address $E6
Programming Register, 16-bit write-only. Address $E8
Analogue Signal Path Register, 8-bit write-only. Address $EC
Notes: 1. The 'C-BUS' addresses $E9, $EA and $EB are allocated for production testing and should not
be accessed in normal operation.
2. The 'C-BUS' address $E4 is allocated for internal use and should not be accessed in normal
operation.
3. In several registers there are bit patterns whose function is not specified. These modes
should not be accessed in normal operation and no guarantee is given that any use of these
bits will be supported in the future.
1.5.12.1 General Reset Command
General Reset Command (no data) 'C-BUS' address $01
This command resets the device and clears all bits of the General Control, Analogue Signal Path,
Programming, Transmit Mode and Receive Mode Registers and all bits of the Status Register except b14
and b8.
The clearing of the General Control Register will put the device into Powersave. See the description of
General Control Register b8 for the procedure on how to power-up the device.
Whenever power is applied to the CMX860, a General Reset command should be sent to the device or
the RESETN pin should be pulsed low. Either action will cause the device to enter a powersave state
(General Control Register bit 8 will be cleared to '0'). Note that the CMX860 does not automatically
perform a power-on reset when power is first applied.
To bring the device out of powersave, please refer to the description of bits 7 and 8 in the General Control
Register, section 1.5.12.2.

General Control Register b8: Powerup
This bit controls the internal power supply to most of the internal circuits, including the Xtal
oscillator and VBIAS supply. Note that the General Reset command clears this bit, putting the
device into Powersave mode.
b8 = 1 Device powered up normally
b8 = 0 Powersave mode (all circuits except Ring Detect, Hook Detect, RDRVN
and 'C-BUS' interface disabled)
When power is first applied to the device, the following powerup procedure should be
followed to ensure correct operation.
i. (Power is applied to the device)
ii. Issue a General Reset command or momentarily set the RESETN pin low.
iii. Write to the General Control Register (address $E0) setting both the Powerup bit (b8)
and the Reset bit (b7) to 1 – leave in this state for a minimum of about 20ms – it is
required that the crystal initially runs for this time in order to clock the internal logic into
a defined state. The device is now powered up, with the crystal and VBIAS supply
operating, but is otherwise not running any transmit or receive functions.
iv. The device is now ready to be programmed as and when required. Examples:
A General Reset command could be issued to clear all the registers and therefore
powersave the device.
The Reset bit in the General Control Register could be set to 0 as part of a routine
to program all the relevant registers for setting up a particular operating mode.
When the device is switched from Powersave mode to normal operation by setting the
Powerup bit to 1, the Reset bit should also be set to 1 and should be held at 1 for about 20ms
while the internal circuits, Xtal oscillator and VBIAS stabilise before starting to use the transmitter
or receiver.
General Control Register b7: Reset
Setting this bit to 1 resets the CMX860’s internal circuitry, clearing all bits of the Analogue
Signal Path, Programming, Transmit and Receive Mode Registers and b13-0 of the Status
Register.
b7 = 1 Internal circuitry in a reset condition.
b7 = 0 Normal operation
General Control Register b6: IRQNEN (IRQN O/P Enable)
Setting this bit to 1 enables the IRQN output pin.
b6 = 1 IRQN pin driven low (to DVSS) if the IRQ bit of the Status Register = 1
b6 = 0 IRQN pin disabled (high impedance)
General Control Register b5-0: IRQ Mask bits
These bits affect the operation of the IRQ bit of the Status Register as described in section

Certain events of the Status Register bits 14-5 will cause the IRQ bit b15 to be set to 1 if the
corresponding IRQ Mask bit is 1. These events are:
for Status Register Bit 14 (Ring Detect), Bit 10 (Energy or Call Progress / Programmable Tones
Detect) and Bit 8 (Hook Detect), both positive-going (0 to 1) and negative-going (1 to 0)
transitions,
for the remaining Status Register bits, only positive-going (0 to 1) transitions.
The IRQ bit is cleared by a read of the Status Register or a General Reset command or by setting b7 or
b8 of the General Control Register to 1.
The operation of the data demodulator and pattern detector circuits within the CMX860 does not depend
on the state of the Rx energy detect function.

1.5.12.9 Programming Register (includes generation & detection of 2130 and 2750 Hz)
Programming Register : 16-bit write-only. 'C-BUS' address $E8
This register is used to program the transmit and receive programmed tone pairs by writing appropriate
values to RAM locations within the CMX860. Note that these RAM locations are cleared by Powersave or
Reset.
The Programming Register should only be written to when the Programming Flag bit (b13) of the Status
Register is 1. The act of writing to the Programming Register clears the Programming Flag bit. When the
programming action has been completed (normally within 150μs) the CMX860 will set the bit back to 1.
When programming Transmit or Receive Tone Pairs, do not change the Transmit or Receive Mode
Registers until programming is complete and the Programming Flag bit has returned to 1.
Transmit Tone Pair Programming
4 transmit tone pairs (TA to TD) can be programmed.
The frequency (max 3.4kHz) and level must be entered for each tone to be used.
Single tones are programmed by setting both level and frequency values to zero for one of the pair.
Programming is done by writing a sequence of up to seventeen 16-bit words to the Programming
Register.
The first word should be 32768 (8000 hex), the following 16-bit words set the frequencies and levels and
are in the range 0 to 16383 (0-3FFF hex). Each word is written as a 2 x data-byte CBUS transfer, see
Figure 7c.

16 TD Tone 2 frequency 2750 Hz can be re-programmed if required.
17 TD Tone 2 level -20 dBm
The Frequency values to be entered are calculated from the formula:
Value to be entered = desired frequency (Hz) * 3.414
i.e. for 1kHz the value to be entered is 3414 (or 0D56 in Hex).
The Level values to be entered are calculated from the formula:
Value to be entered = desired Vrms * 93780 / AVDD
i.e. for 0.5Vrms at AVDD = 3.0V, the value to be entered is 15630 (3D0E in Hex)
Telephone Signalling Transceiver / Least Cost Router CMX860

Note that allowance should be made for the transmit signal filtering in the CMX860 which attenuates the
output signal for frequencies above 2kHz by 0.25dB at 2.5kHz, by 1dB at 3kHz and by 2.2dB at 3.4kHz.
Receive Tone Pair Programming
The programmable tone pair detector is implemented as shown in Figure 9a. The filters are 4th order IIR
sections. The frequency detectors measure the time taken for a programmable number of complete input
signal cycles and compare this time against programmable upper and lower limits.
NB. If this register is not programmed, the detector will be configured to operate in its default mode,
which
is for the detection of 2130 Hz ± 20 Hz and 2750 Hz ± 30 Hz.

Programming is done by writing a sequence of twenty-seven 16-bit words to the Programming Register.
The first word should be 32769 (8001 hex), the following twenty-six 16-bit words set the frequencies and
levels and are in the range 0 to 32767 (0000-7FFF hex). Each word is written as a 2 x data-byte CBUS
transfer, see Figure 7c.

The coefficients are entered as 15-bit signed (two’s complement) integer values (the most significant bit of
the 16-bit word entered should be zero) calculated as 8192 * coefficient value from the user’s filter design
program (i.e. this allows for filter design values of -1.9999 to +1.9999).
The design of the IIR filters should make allowance for the fixed receive signal filtering in the CMX860
which has a low pass characteristic above 1.5kHz of 0.4dB at 2kHz, 1.2dB at 2.5kHz, 2.6dB at 3kHz and
4.1dB at 3.4kHz.
‘ncycles’ is the number of signal cycles for the frequency measurement.
‘mintime’ is the smallest acceptable time for ncycles of the input signal expressed as the number of
9.6kHz timer clocks. i.e. ‘mintime’ = 9600 * ncycles / high frequency limit
‘maxtime’ is the highest acceptable time for ncycles of the input signal expressed as the number of
9.6kHz timer clocks. i.e. ‘maxtime’ = 9600 * ncycles / low frequency limit
The level detectors include hysteresis. The threshold levels - measured at a 2-wire line interface with
unity gain filters, using typical line interface circuits, 1.0 dB line coupling loss and with the Rx Gain Control
block set to 0dB - are nominally:
‘Off’ to ‘On’ -44.5dBm
‘On’ to ‘Off’ -47.0dBm
Note that if any changes are made to the programmed values while the CMX860 is running in
Programmed Tone Detect mode they will not take effect until the CMX860 is next switched into
Programmed Tone Detect mode.
