Description
The MX118 is a full-duplex frequency inversion scram-
bler that secures cordless telephone conversations. The
two audio paths, C1 and C2, are identical and independ-
ent. Each consists of the following:
1) A 10
th
order lowpass filter cut off at 3.1 kHz.
2) A balanced modulator with high baseband and carrier
rejection.
3) A 3.3 kHz inversion carrier (injection tone).
4) A 14
th
order bandpass filter (300-3000 Hz).
5) Input op-amps with externally adjustable gain.
The MX118 uses CMOS switched-capacitor filter
technology and operates from a single supply in the range
of 3.0 V to 5.5 V. The inversion carrier's frequency and
filter switching clock are generated on-chip using an
external 4.433619 MHz crystal or clock input.

Function
Xtal:
This is the output of the clock oscillator inverter.
No Connection.
C1 Filter Output:
This is the output of the channel 1 input filter. It should be coupled to pin 4 (C1
Balanced Modulator Input) by a 1.0
µF
cap. See Figure 3.
C1 Balanced Modulator Input:
This is the input to the channel 1 balanced modulator. Internally
biased at V

System Gains
When calculating the external components for the operation of the MX118 the following should be considered:
a) The input Lowpass Filter has a typical gain of 0.5 dB.
b) The Balanced Modulator has a typical attenuation of 4.0 dB.
c) The Output Bandpass Filter has a typical gain of 4.5 dB.
