NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS-1
OVERVIEW
The SM8212B is a POCSAG-standard (Post Office Code
Standardization Advisory Group) signal processor LSI,
which conforms to CCIR recommendation 584 concern-
ing standard international wireless calling codes.
The SM8212B supports call messages in either tone,
numerical or character outputs at signal speeds of 512,
1200 or 2400 bps. The signal input stage features a built-in
filter.
Each of the addresses (max. 8) can be assigned to any
frame, which also makes the device configurable for many
additional services. Each address can be independently set
ON/OFF.
Furthermore, built-in buffer memory means decoded
information can be fetched in sync with the microcon-
troller clock, thereby reducing the microcontroller CPU
time required.
Intermittent-duty method (battery saving (BS) method)
control signals, compatible with PLL operation, and
Molybdenum-gate CMOS structure makes possible the
construction of low-voltage operation, low power dissipa-
tion systems.
The SM8212B is available in 16-pin SSOPs.
