Radio processor IC launched as 'one-for-all'

2 November 2005 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

CML has announced a new two-way radio processor IC, presenting it as 'one-for-all' radio chip, which provides a comprehensive feature-set as standard, along with a roadmap of function enhancements available through CML's FirmASIC component technology. The new CMX7031 is positioned as a two-way radio processor that meets the current and future global market requirements of modern analog radio designs.

The key to the CMX7031 is its flexibility. Adoption of the IC on a manufacturer's radio platform enables multistandard radios to be conceived in a single design, says the company. Professional and leisure two-way radios are all target applications within its capabilities.

The specific functions of the CMX7031 device are determined by uploading its 'Function Image' during device initialisation. A new Function Image may be later provided to supplement and enhance device functions, expanding or modifying end-product features without the need for expensive and time-consuming design changes, says CML. The benefit is a significant reduction in time-to-market along with commercial advantages over custom ASIC, structured ASIC, FPGA and DSP solutions.

The CMX7031 product is a full-function, half-duplex, audio, signalling and data processing IC, suitable for implementation in professional and leisure radio applications (PMR/LMR, Trunking, GMRS, FRS, PMR446 and MURS), in the fields of Marine VHF, aviation and amateur radio, to name but a few.

Fully functional in the range 3,0 to 3,6 V, this product is available as a 64-pin LQFP or VQFN package.
