Description

The FX/MX128 is a full-duplex frequency inversion scrambler designed to provide secure conversations for 46/49 MHz cordless telephone users.

The Rx and Tx audio paths consist of the following:
  1. A switched-capacitor balanced modulator with high baseband and carrier rejection
  2. A 3.3kHz inversion carrier (injection tone)
  3. A 3100Hz lowpass filter
  4. Input op-amps with externally adjustable gain
The FX/MX128 uses mixed signal CMOS switched-capacitor filter technology and operates from a single supply in the range of 3.0 to 5.5 volts.
The inversion carrier's frequency and filter switching clock are generated on-chip using an external 10.24MHz or 3.58/3.6864 MHz crystal or clock input (selectable).
