SM8213AM
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS—1
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.
POCSAG Decoder For Multiframe Pagers
OVERVIEW
The SM8213AM is a POCSAG-standard (Post
Office Code Standardization Advisory Group) signal
processor LSI, which conforms to CCIR recommen-
dation 584 concerning standard international wire-
less calling codes.
The SM8213AM supports call messages in either
tone, numerical or character outputs at signal speeds
of 512, 1200 or 2400 bps. The signal input stage fea-
tures a built-in filter.
Each of the addresses (max. 7 + 1 dummy = 8) can
be assigned to any frame, which also makes the
device configurable for many additional services.
Each address can be independently set to ON/OFF.
Furthermore, built-in buffer memory means decoded
information can be fetched in sync with the micro-
controller clock, thereby reducing the microcontrol-
ler CPU time required. Intermittent-duty method
(battery saving (BS) method) control signals, com-
patible with PLL operation, and Molybdenum-gate
CMOS structure makes possible the construction of
low-voltage operation, low power dissipation sys-
tems.
The SM8213AM is available in 16-pin SSOPs.
