Description

The CMX7143 is a unique, highly-flexible single IC product offering wide-ranging wireless data operations in one hardware package.
This unique way of operating means that you can produce an individual end-product platform operable to (currently) three different schemes. A saving in time, cost and materials.

Built on CML’s proprietary FirmASIC® technology, this IC can be configured by a Function Image™ (FI) file to one of three individual functions:
  • GMSK/GFSK Packet Data Modem
  • 4-Level FSK Packet Data Modem
  • FFSK/MSK Modem

Operation, in the host equipment, to alternative data schemes is achieved literally at the ‘press of a button’.
FirmASIC® IC function and configuration is achieved by the loading of a compact Function Image™ file at start-up or when a change of data scheme is required.
Function Image™ files, which are downloadable from the CML website, can be easily 'swopped' in the field by the host µC to allow the system to operate to an entirely different (data) scheme.

The Function Image™ (FI)
This device utilises CML’s proprietary FirmASIC® component technology.
On-chip sub-systems are configured by a Function Image™: this is a data file that is uploaded during device initialisation and defines the device's function and feature set.
The Function Image™ can be loaded automatically from an external EEPROM or from a host µController over the built-in C-BUS serial command/data interface.

Evaluation
