Brief Description
The FX614 is a low power CMOS integrated circuit for the reception or transmission of asynchronous
1200bits/sec data and is suitable for use in Bell 202 type systems. It is also capable of generating the
5bits/sec or 150bits/sec 'back channel'.
The device incorporates an optional Tx and Rx data retiming function that removes the need for a UART in the
associated
µ
C when operating at 1200bits/sec. An optional line equaliser is incorporated into the receive path,
this is controlled by an external logic level.
The FX614 may be used in a wide range of telephone telemetry systems. With a low operating voltage of
3.0V, a very low current 'sleep' mode (1
µ
A) and an operating current of 1mA the device is ideal for portable,
terminal and line powered applications. A 3.58MHz standard Xtal/Clock rate is required and the device
operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply. Both SOIC (D4) and Plastic DIL (P3) 16-pin package types are available.

Output
This device is capable of detecting and decoding small amplitude signals. To achieve this V
DD
and V
BIAS
decoupling and protecting the receive path from extraneous in-band signals are very important. It is
recommended that the decoupling capacitors are placed so that connections between them and the device
pins are as short as practicable. A ground plane protecting the receive path will help attenuate interfering
signals.

General Description
Xtal Osc and Clock Dividers
Frequency and timing accuracy of the FX614 is determined by a 3.579545MHz clock present at the
XTAL/CLOCK pin. This may be generated by the on-chip oscillator inverter using the external components C1,
C2 and X1 of Figure 2, or may be supplied from an external source to the XTAL/CLOCK input. If supplied from
an external source, C1, C2 and X1 should not be fitted.
The on-chip oscillator is turned off in the 'Zero-Power' mode.
If the clock is provided by an external source which is not always running, then the 'Zero-Power' mode must be
set when the clock is not available. Failure to observe this rule may cause a significant rise in the supply
current drawn by FX614 as well as generating undefined states of the RXD, DET and RDYN outputs.
