1 Hardware Description
The 73M2901CE is designed to operate from a +3.6 to +2.7 volt supply with low power consumption
(~30 mW @ 3.0 volts). Th e modem su pports aut om atic standby idle m ode. Th e mod em will also accept
a request to power d own from t he D TE via h ar dware co ntrol . N o addi tional major components ar e
requir ed to co m pl ete the modem core logic. The modem provides direct fir mware LED support via the
po r t pins (pi n s 3 , 4, 5, 6, 31 , an d 32) .
The 73M2901 CE includes the following hardware features:
Fully self-contained. “AT” Command int er preter and data pump.
Use r pins availab le.
S ynchronous seri al data I/ O available.
A sy nchronous ser i al p or t.
On-chip hybrid and line driver.
Autobaud capability from 300 bps to 9600 bps.
Reduced external hardware support required with energy incoming ring detection.
1.1 Po wer Sup ply
P ower is supplied to th e 73M 2901C E by the VPD and VPA pins. The 73M2901CE is designed for a
single +3.6 to +2.7 volt supply and for low power consumption (~30mW @ 3.0 volts). Gr o un d is suppl i ed
t o the 73M2901C E by the VND and V NA p ins.
The 73M2901CE has been designed with separated analog and digital supplies to insure the best
performance of the part by using separately filtered pow er suppli es. It is recommended that separate
loca lly b ypassed trace s be used to apply power to the analog supply VP A and the digi tal supply VPD.
1.2 Low Power Mode
The Teridian 73M 2901C E supp or ts a low power standby mode. If t he l ow power standby option i s
enabled, the 73M2901CE will go i nto a power saving mode wh en idle.
Whil e i n thi s mode, t he oscill ator will be r unni ng and clocks will be supplied t o the UAR T, ti mers and
int e r r upt bl o cks, but no clocks will be suppl i ed to the CPU . Instruction processing and activity on the
internal busses is halted. Normal operati on i s resumed when an i nterr uption such as assertion of DTR or
RING occurs, a character is se nt to th e 73M 2901C E TX D input, or a r eset occurs.
1.3 Anal og Lin e / Hy brid Int erf a ce
The 73M2901C E pr ovides a dif ferential an alog out put (TX AP and TXAN ) and a single-ended analog input
(RX A) with i nternal A/D and D/ A converter s. A driver is provided for an internal hybrid function.
The internal hybrid driver is capable of driving an external load matching impedance and a line-coupling
transformer. The i nternal hybrid/ l ine d r iver sense s the load and adapt s itse lf to i ts requir emen ts.
The 73M2901C E pr ovides firmware control for a hook relay driver (RELAY) as well as i nterr upt sup por t
for a ring detect opto-coupl er ( RING).
1.4 Interrupt Pins
The external interrupt sources, DTR and RING, co me from dedicat ed inp ut pin s of the same name.
DTR informs the 73M2901CE that the host has requested the 73M2901CE to perform a specific function.
The function of DTR can be changed byAT” commands ( described in the 73M2901CE AT Command
Use r Guide).
DS_2901CE_031 73M2901CE Dat a Sheet
Rev. 3.4 5
RING is used to inform the 73M2901CE that the external DAA circuitry or ring energy detector has
det ected a ring signal . It wil l go active when each “RING” m essage is sent on R XD.
In addition, sending any character on the TXD line al so generates an i nternal int er r upt.
1.5 C ry st al O sc il l at or
The Teridian 73M 2901C E single chip modem can use an external 11.0592 MHz reference cl ock or can
generate a cl ock u sing onl y a cr ystal and two capacit or s. If an external clock is used, it should be applied
to the OSCIN pin.
1.5.1 S p ecifying a Crystal
The manufactur er of a crystal resonator verifies its frequency of oscillation in a test set-up, but to ensure
t hat the same frequen cy i s obtained in the appli cation, t he circuit conditions must be the sa me.
The Teridian 73M 2901C E modem r equi r es a paral l el mode (anti-resonan t) crystal, the im por tant
specificat ions of whi ch are as follo ws:
Mode: P ar allel ( anti -resonant)
Frequency: 11.0592 MHz
Frequency tol er ance: ±50 ppm at ini tial t em perature
Temperature drift: An additional ± 50 ppm over ful l range
Load capacitance: 18 pF to 22 pF
ESR: 75 max
Drive level: Less than 1 mW
The peak vol tage level of the oscil l ator should be checked to assure it will not violate the maximum
voltage levels allowed on the oscillator pins. A resistor i n seri es wi th the cr ystal can be used, if
necessary, to reduce the oscillator’s peak vol tage l evels.
Crystal s wit h l ow E SR s may oscillate at hi gher than sp ecified voltage levels.
1.6 Reset
A r eset is accompli shed by hol din g the R ESET pin hi g h. To ensure a proper pow er-on r eset , the rese t
pin must be held high for a minimum of 3 µs. At p ower on, t he voltage at V PD , VPA, and R ESET must
come up at the sa me t ime for a proper reset.
The signals DCD, CTS and DSR will be held inactive for 25 ms, acknowledging the reset operation, within
a 250 ms t ime win dow a fter the rese t-triggering event. The 73M 2901C E i s ready fo r operati on after the
250 ms window an d/or after the signals DCD, CTS and DSR become acti ve.
1.7 Asynchronous and Synchrono us S erial Data In t er f ac e
The serial data i nterface consists of the TXD and R XD data paths ( LSB shifted in and out first) and the
TXCLK and R XCL K serial synchr onous cl ock out puts associ ated wit h the data pins; CTS/RTS flow
control; DCD, DSR and DTR. In asyn chronous mode, t he data is passed at t he bi t rate (toler ance is +1% ,
-2.5%).

A n “A T” co mmand interpreter pr ovides command and configuration of the 73M2901CE. This provides the
user a uni form interface to con trol t he mod em in embedded appli cat ion s. The signal pr ocessing i s
performed to provide data to the D AC an d pr ocess dat a from t he A/D converter . A MAC har dware
copr ocessor i s provided for comput ation.
To provide maximum flexibil ity, t he system host pr ocessor can access the internal RA M and C ontrol
Register space in the modem . This will allow the OEM use r to modi fy parameters such as filt er r esponse
and t r ansmit l evels t hrough the AT command set usi ng pr opr i etary co mmands. The h ost proce ssor can
also access t he modem I/ O port pins, pr ovidi ng ext ended I/O capability.
Refer to t he 73M2901CE AT Command User Guide for a complete description of t he software.
5.1 Firmware Overview
The modem always powers up in the idle (on hook) mode. AT” commands ar e i ssued via the se r i al
interface from t he host. Al l m odem configuration commands are received in t hi s manner. The data
modem fir mware i s contai ned i n an i nternal ROM.
The fir mware will automatically enter a powe r saving idle m ode if the modem is on hook and th er e ar e no
incoming host commands. The modem automaticall y powers up upon rece i ving the next command. This
power up sequence occurs wit hout del ay t o the host. This function, while saving power, i s transpar ent to
t he host proce ssor and can be disa bl ed by the host via an “AT” comman d. Th e host can al so program
t he m odem to power do wn vi a an external pin (DTR) or via a firmware command.

6 Design Considerations
The 7 3M2 9 0 1CE single c hip mo dem inclu des al l t he ba sic modem func t ions . Programmable configuration
opt i ons make this device h ighly ad aptabl e to a wide vari ety of applications.
Unlike di gi tal l ogic circuitry, modem designs must co ntend wit h pr ecise frequ ency tolerances and verify
low-level analog si gnals to ensu r e acceptable per formance. Usi ng good anal og circuit design practice s
will general ly resul t in a sound design. The cr ystal oscillat or should be hel d to a 50 ppm tol er ance. The
recommendations in this section should be taken into consideration when starting new designs.
6.1 Layout Considerations
G ood anal og/digit al design rules m ust be used t o control system noise in or der to obtain high
performance in modem designs. The more digit al cir cuitry prese nt in the appl i cation, th e m or e attent ion
t o noi se co ntrol is needed.
High speed, di gital device s sh ould be l ocall y bypassed, and the t elephone line interface and the modem
should be located next to each other near wh er e the telephone l in e connection is accesse d. I t is
recomme nde d that power supplies and ground traces be ro uted separately to the analog a nd digi tal portions
on the board. Digital signals should not be ro uted near low-level or hig h impedance anal og traces.
The 73M2901CE should be consider ed a high per formance analog device . A 3.3 µF electrol yt ic capacitor in
parall el with a 0.1 µF Cera mic capacitor should be placed be tw een each VPD and VND pin a nd a 10 µF and
0.1 µF between VPA and VNA. A 0.1 µF ceramic capa citor s ho uld be placed be tween VREF a nd VN A a s
well as between V BG and VNA. Use of ground planes and large traces on power is reco m mended.
K eep OSCIN and OSCOUT si gnals as shor t as possible and l ocate t he crystal near the pi ns. U se an
11.0592 M Hz par al lel mode crystal onl y. Do not use ground planes under the oscillator cir cuit since this
will i ncrease the parasitic capacitance on the pins. The values of C2 and C3 depend on the load
capacitance r ating of the cr ystal that is used, not th e 73M 2901C E. This l oad capacit ance will typ ical ly be
between 15 pF and 27 pF, but usually 18 or 22 pF. Parallel resonant crystals are tuned with a specific
capacit ive load an d will b e wit hin their specifications wh en this load is used. Th is rating is th e
capacitance measured between the crystal pins including all parasitic capacitance s. I t i s not the values of
t he capacit or s used. Th e selection of t hese capacitors can vary with the layou t of the P CB, so do not
assume the values used with the 73M2901C E demo boar d ar e correct fo r al l desi gns.
S ystem noise i s the most l ikel y ca use of p oor C aller ID and l ow-level r eceive performance. The lowest
ampli tude signals th at the modem will need to receive are on th e or der of 5 mV rms. Th e C aller ID
rece ive levels are al so very low due to t he r equi r ement to have a high (60 kΩ) AC input impedance while
on hook. Having a 20 dB gain boost during C al ler ID recept ion comp ensates for this, but i f there is
excessive noise, i t will al so be amplified. Keepi ng the analog and dig it al gr ounds separ ate helps co ntrol
t he amoun t of noise t hat gets to the receive r inp ut. Dr amat i c im provements i n low-leve l performance can
be gained by proper layout.
K eep the VCC t r ace as short as possible. Make t he power t r ace a mi nimum of 0.5 mm thick. The anal og
and digital power and ground should be kept se par ate for best low receive level performance. Route t he
power to the digital pins and bypass capacitors on one net and the analog power and VBG bypass pins
on anot her net wit h inductors separ ating the two. If p ower planes are use d, se par ate the power and
ground planes so there ar e separate analog and digi tal planes for the 73M2901CE.
K eep all analog signal i ng away from any high-speed digital circuitry and tr aces that may b e on the board.
O bserve the separation of th e network and mod em side circuitry. Maintain at l east ¼ inch (6 mm )
separ ation between the two. Do not run power planes under the network side circu i try and maintai n the
same spacing for the planes from t he network. Use only UL, CSA, or TUV appr oved com ponents that
cr oss the i solation barr ier or for networ k protection to assur e compl i ant performan ce for the DAA.

The transf ormer use d for coupli ng will have an influence on t he values of the co mpon ents in the DAA
ci r cui try. The windin g r esistance, i nduct ances and other characteristics of the t r ansformer affect the
val ues of t he i mped ance matching com ponents. M ake sur e you have the transf ormer manufactur er s
reco mmended circuit valu es when using other transf or mers. Th e values can be determined t hr ough
simu lations, bu t may still require some adj ust ment to optimize the design.
6.2 73M2901CE Design Compatibility
The Teridian 73M 2901C E i s an enhanced version of the Teridian 73M 2901C L and has a number of
additional features. These par ts are highl y compat ib le with the earl i er 73M 2901, however, users should
pay special att ention when changing an existing 73M2901 design to use the 73M2901CE or 73M2901CL.
From a hardware standpoint, the key di fference s involve t he U ser I/O pin s USR10 and U SR1 1, the
ASRCH pin and the HBDEN pin. An addi ti onal user I/O pi n, USR20, r epl aces the ASRCH pin on the
73M2901CE. Thi s pin may remain safely co nnected to TX D as long as th e host soft w are does not
reconfigure USR20 as an output (S104 bit0=0).
The 73M 2901CE contains a hi gh-ef fi cie ncy , low-power hy brid driver . Due to this enhancement, HBDEN is no
longer required. This pin is an internal no-co nnect a nd ca n safely re main co nne c te d to its previo us VPD or
GND. T he f unctions of USR 10 a nd USR 11 are relate d to Ca ller ID and Line In Use/ Para llel Pickup suppor t.
Software enhancem ents to the 73M2901CE ar e typ ical ly achieved by th e addit i on of new AT commands.
The device can be considered a superse t of the 73M2901CL a nd 73M2901C . When converting a design to
the 73M2901CE, it is recommended that the user check the commands and regist er sett ings for backward
compa tibility to the earlier parts (refer to the 73M2901CE AT Command User Guide for complete details).
6.3 Telephone Line Interface
Transmi t levels at the line are dependent on the interface used bet ween the pins and the line. T he inter nal
hybr id line dr i vers elim inate the need for additional active ci rcuitry t o dr ive the line-coupling transformer.
The anal og outputs TXA P and TXAN can be conne cte d directly to the tra nsformer (w ith the re quired
impedance ma tching series resist or or n etwork) . Depe ndin g upon transf o rme r de sign ( spe ci fi ca l l y dr y
t r ansf or mers), op er ati on may be affected by the limi ted a mount of DC current genera ted by the analog
outpu ts (DC offset). For th is r eason, Teri di an recommends using a coupling capacitor with those
transformers to insure maximum performance.
The l i ne in terface ci r cui ts shown in Section 7 Referen ce Designs represent the basic components and
values for i nterfacing the Teridian 73M2901CE analog pins to the telephone line. The values of these
compon ents have been calculated t o minimize the transmission and recept i on path hyb r i d losses and ar e
linked by the following equation: R3 and R6 i n Figure 3 and R15=0.242 x R13 in Figure 4.

6.4 Functional Considerations
6.4.1 S MS and V.23 Half Dup lex
S M S ( Short messag ing S er vices) is the co m munica ti ons mode use d to transmit t ext messages for cel l
phon es and even tually wire l i ne phones as well ( see the 73 M 29 01CE SM S an d H al f Du pl ex V . 23
Operation application note). The V.23 half duplex mode has been inclu ded with t he addi ti on of the B1 0
comm and (ATB10). The B10 command allows the used to turn the transm itter on and off using the se r i al
interface RTS signal . In this way the modems can easil y communicat e in half duplex mode usi ng RTS to
enable transmission and CTS to indi cate t he modem is r eady t o send dat a. Th e V.23 receiver response
t i me has also been improved to all ow f or fast line turnaround (r eversa l of the data flow). The pat tern
generator has also been mod ified t o send th e pr oper al ternati ng pattern used in the SM S handshake.
S M S m essaging is very si milar to the format used for Caller ID , so the 2901CE can als o be used t o send
Caller ID messages to equ ipment desi gned to use and di splay Cal ler ID informat i on. A typi cal command
line for a di al up connection would be: ATY0B10S73-32C2 R 2S10=255< CR>. These co mmands ar e
broke n out as follows:
Y0 Clear channel mod e (1 20 0 bps)
B10 V .23 HDX gated by RTS
S73-32 N o 125m S wait between com man ds
C2 DCD follows the raw received carrie r
R2 Toggle DTR to ha ng up
S10=255 Disable l oss o f carrier timeout
Note t hat RTS/CTS flow control cannot be used when using V.23 half duplex since RTS is used to turn
t he carri er on and off. XON/XOFF flow cont r ol should be used instead if flo w control is needed. The
transmitter RTS to carrier on delay t ime is 10mS and t he off delay is 5m S.
6.4.2 Leased Line Mo de
O ne of the drawbacks to the earlier 73M2901 modems is that they are designed prim arily for dial-up
modem applications. Thi s made it difficult to use them in some n on-dial-up designs. The 73M2901CE
adds a l eased li ne mod e that all ows a modem t o go int o the data mode without having t o go through a
normal handshake or the need for a connection to anoth er modem. The l eased line mode is enabled
usi ng the @L1 command i n the ini ti al ization stri ng. The 73M 2901C E l eased li ne mod e should not be
t hought of as l imited to only lease d l ine. It is also suited to radio links and any ap plica ti ons where the
modem needs to be r eady to go when it is first connected. L eased line m ode can be used with all
modulation modes that are su ppor ted by the 73M2901CE. Table 1 sh ows typ ical command initial i zation

These commands are b r oken out as follows:
F S et to factor defaults

@L1 L eased li ne mode
O nce th e in it i aliza ti on string i s given, the modems are started by sending ATD t o one modem and A TA to
t he other. The m odems will t hen begi n sending ca r r iers and l ook fo r carrier from the other modem. When
the modems disconnect using R2 and DTR, an “OK” r esult co de i s se nt on RXD. The modem will stop
sendi ng carri er at the end of the OK message, the delay time det er mined by the DTE speed an d the tim e
it t akes to output the message.
It is important to note the auto retrain feature (O2) should be enabled when using V.22bis. V.22bis
requires training when it connects and auto retrai n i s off b y defau l t. Make sure “ S26+ 4 i s also sent so it
can al so ini ti ate a retrai n as wel l .
6.4.3 73M2901CE Energy Ring Detection
The 73M2901C E has a featur e that was add ed with t he int ention of lowering the total modem cost by
eliminating some of t he m or e expensi ve external comp onents. Th e threshold for the ring d etector
depen ds on the setting of t he S123 register and the co m ponents in t he C aller ID path, especial ly the
t r ansf or mer. The number that S12 3 is set to repr esents the amplitu de threshold of the ring signal ( see
Tabl e 2). In a conventional ring detect circuit the threshold is set by the hardware, usually the values of
t he Zener diodes used i n the ri ng detect ci r cuit.
Table 3: A pproxima t e Thr e s holds for Energy Ring Detec ti on

Vrms min on to off 5 5 5 5 5
Having th e ability t o set the threshold over a wid e ran ge through the S123 register eliminates the need to
change components to adjust t he r i ng detection se nsitivity. Energy ring detection uses t he C aller ID path
and coupl i ng transformer to path t o pass the i ncoming r ing signal to the modem so it ca n detect the ri ng
si gnal u sing the internal DSP. In an average design thi s can save at l east $0.35 i n the total parts cost or
even more in lower volume products. The 73M2901CE is still compatible with the earlier 2901 products
and still supports the opto-coupled ring detection method, although not on our current demo boar ds. We t
t r ansf or mers gener al ly have poorer frequency response in the ring frequency range than dry
t r ansf or mers. This means that th e threshold mu st be sent to a low er number for wet transf or mers than
with some V.9 0-rated dry t r ansf or mers. This also mean s that lower frequency r in g signal detection will
also r equire a lower setting. The r ange of va lues for S123 ca n be from 1 to 127 wh en checking frequency

or 129 to 25 5 when not checking frequency. The pr actical range i s from 3 to 30 when checking
frequen cy , depending on the transfor mer, Caller ID se r ies r esistor, capacitor, and the ring frequency.
The other rin g par amet er s such as r i ng frequency ( S17 and S18) and cadence (S51-S58 ) stil l need to be
programm ed when using energy ring detection.
Th e typical initialization strin g for ring d et ect ion an d auto answer for the U.S. would be:
ATS123=7S0=1<CR><LF>
For other count r ies, the oth er r in g par amet er s should also be i ndivid ual ly pr ogr ammed, or t he S99
register ca n be used t o pr ogr am al l t he count r y parameters.
6.4.4 Caller ID Mode Chang es
The C al ler ID modes have also had some enhancement s. There is now two di fferent types of TYPE II
cal ler ID; normal TYP E II and snoop m ode TYPE II.
Normal T YPE II C aller ID is on wh en S110 bit 3 i s t urn ed on. Th e mod em mu st be of f hook ( in use) for
this mode to be active. When the modem detects an al er ting tone tell i ng it that a call is wai ting and that a
Caller ID message is about to be sent, t he m odem then send s a DTMF digit “D” to notify the C O that A
TYPE I I C al ler ID device i s prese nt. The CO then se nds th e Caller ID message, and after receivin g the
message the 73M2901CE will go on-hoo k (ha ng u p) .
TYPE I I snoop mode is enabled wh en S95=$99 (99 hex). In thi s mode the modem wi ll repor t ei ther a
TYPE I or TYP E II Cal l er ID m essage wh en the modem i s on hook. If anot her C aller ID device is off hook
t he m odem wil l det ect th e C aller ID handshake and output th e C aller ID data, but the 73M 2901CE wil l not
actively participate ot herwise.
TYPE II Caller ID performance has been improved and, using proper coupling circuitry to monit or the CID
si gnal, the 73M2901C E can pass all EIA-777A tests.
6.4.5 S electable An swer Tone Frequency Detection
I t is now possible to se l ect whi ch frequencies will be d etected as an answer tone duri ng the handshake.
A new S r egister, S120, h as been added for t his purpose. Thi s adds some flexibility to the handshake i n

6.4.6.1 Rin g Detection Parameters
The ring detector is programmable in a num ber of ways. S-registers S 17 and S18 cont r ol the frequency
range of t he ring frequ encies th at are vali d. R i ngin g tones ou tside these sett i ngs will not be detected.
S-registers S51-S58 d etermine the cadences ( on and off t i ming of t he tones) th at are allowed. Either one
of two d if ferent ca dences can be accept ed or a dual cadence can be defined, depending on the se tting of
bit 6 in regi ster S29. S123 enables the energy ring det ection feature. With S123 set to 0, energy ring
det ection is disabled and the opt ocoupler input i s used as in the 73M2901CL. Wi th S123 se t to a
non-zero number , the ampl it ude threshold and wh ether the ri ng frequency is checked ca n be cont r olled.
6.4.6.2 Dial Tone Parameters
The di al tone paramet er s can al so be co ntrol led over a w i de r ange. S29 co ntrol s whether a con ti nuous
dial tone (bit 7=1, the default), one of two different single cadences (b it 4=0, default) or a dual cadence
(bit 4=1) dial tone will be detected. Regi sters S35 S42 , cont r ol the two cadences’ on and off t i mes.
There is al so co ntrol for the tones that are detected as valid. Register S20 cont r ol s whether pr ecise
frequenci es wi ll be detected or a band of frequencies selected as a va l id. S20 also se l ects wh ether an
individual tone or al l t ones sel ected by S19 m ust be detected. The l ow nibble of regi ster S19 se l ects
which tones will be used for di al tone detecti on. Register S88 se lects the imprecise frequency r ange for
imprecise detection mode.
I n addi ti on register S66 determin es the maximum tim e to wait for di al t one, S67 t he tone qualification
duration, and S 75 and S77 select the mi nimum l evel for detecti on for i mprecise and pr ecise t ones,
respectively.
6.4.6.3 Bus y Tone Parameters
The busy tone parameters ca n al so be controlled ove r a wide range. S29 control s whether one of two
different single cadences (bit 5=0, default) or a dual cadence (bit 5=1) dial tone will be detected.
Registers S 43 S50, cont r ol th e two cadence s’ on and off times.
There is al so co ntrol for the tones that are detected as valid. Register S20 cont r ol s whether pr ecise
frequen cies wi l l be det ected or a band of freq uencies sel ected as a vali d tone. S20 also selects wh ether
an individual tone or al l t ones sel ected by S19 must be det ected. The high ni bble of reg ister S19 selects
which tones will be used for busy tone detection. Reg i ster S88 selects the imprecise frequency r ange for
impr ecise det ection mode.
I n addi ti on, regi sters S 76 and S78 se lect the mini m um level for detection for i mprecise and precise t ones,
respectively.
6.4.6.4 P ulse Dialing
Registers S 32 through S34 co ntrol the ti ming of pulse di aling. S 32 sets the duration of off h ook switch
closure (make ti me). S33 cont r ols the off h ook open t ime (break t ime). S34 controls the time between
digits. S32 and S33 times are in ms, while S34 is in 10 ms increments.
S ome countri es use di fferent pulse pat terns t o r epr esent the digit s, so S72 can be used to set the pulse
pat tern so digits are co r r ectly sent. The default is t he m ost common, where the d igit equals th e numb er
of pulses, except for 0, which is 10 pulses.
6.4.6.5 DTMF Dialing
DTMF on and off timing can be adjusted by S11. Th e r equirements for the timing can var y with different
countri es. The D TMF transmi t levels can be adj usted using t he upper nibble of register S13 and t he twist
(level of the lower frequency relative to the higher frequency) can be changed using S12 bits 4-6 .
A ddit i onal ad justment of t he transmit l evel i s provided by S85, but setting S85 at too hi gh of a level can
also incr ease the THD, so restraint is advised. DTMF should be transmitted at the highest level allowed
by count r y specific li mitations, but do not exceed t hi s li mit.

The l evels for the carri er and call progr ess t ones (ca l ling tone, answer tone) can be adjusted using the
lower n ibb le of S13. Thi s ca n be used t o compensa te for transmit path losses and t o adj ust for t he
highest transm it levels allowable with a particular hardware configuration and cou ntry li mitation. The call
progress and data levels can only be changed in 2 dB increments, therefore S13 bit 3 is ignored.
6.4.6.8 Caller ID Type I and Type II
The 73M2901C E supports worldw i de Caller ID ( CI D ) standards. M ost of the CI D controls are in r egister
S 95, but so me are also fou nd i n other r egi sters. Looking for the Ja panese CID and T ype II snoop mode
Marking preamble are co ntrol led by S72 bit 5. S72 bi t4 con trols Japanese on-hook CI D m ode. CID
wetting pulse control is controlled by S72 bit 3. Type II CID is enabled with S110 bit 3. When a Type II
CID messag e is detected, the modem will go back on hook aft er the message i s retri eved.
Register S95 co ntrol s all other aspects of t he C ID m ode, such as FSK or D TMF C ID , aler ti ng tone
det ection, th e num ber of line reversal s or rin gs before CID is expected, and enabling CI D . Th er e is al so a
continuous CID m ode and a D TMF r eceive mode wi thout a prece di ng CI D :” so DTMF di git s can be
detected. When S95 is set to 99 Hex (ATS95=$99) both US Type I and Type II sn oop mode ar e enabl ed.
6.4.6.9 ITU A nswer Tone Phase R eversals
The 73M2901CE supports ITU answer tone 180º phase reversal s during the handsh ake. S etting S92 bit
6 enab les phase reve r sals and is set t o zero by d efaul t (no phase reve r sals).
6.4.6.10 1200 BP S Fast Connect Mode
The 73M2901C E supports the fast conn ect handshake used in P OS termin al application s. Both Bel l
21 2A and V.22 fast conn ect are supported for t he call i ng side. It does not support the answering fast
connect as exactl y defined, but the Ln com mands can be used to shorten th e handshake ti me. To use
t he call i ng fast connect handshake, Set register S89 bit 5 (ATS89+6 4) and set regist er S30 to Bell 212A
only (ATS30=16). This applies to both Bell 212A and V.22 since the originating side handshake is the
same for bot h modes. S etting S30 to any other value will overri de the ori ginat e fast connect mode. Th e
origi nati ng fast connect mode will send flags in stead of marks i f the modem i s set for synchronous mode
(Y1 or Y4).
For the answering side, the L1 co m mand will byp ass t he bi l ling delay and answer t one to significantly
speed up the handshake. Thi s will wor k wit h the ori gi nating Bel l 212A or V.22 fast co nnect or normal
connect, as well as the stan dar d V.22 bis co nnection. O f course the fastest connect ion s will be with Bell
212A and V.22 operating in the fast connect mode. L2 wil l still use the 2-second billing delay, but the
2-second answer tone will not be sent. L3 will use t he normal billing delay, and se nd a short 400 ms
answer tone. L1 will give the fastest handshake with the 1200 bps or ig inat e fast connect mode enabl ed.

8 Modem Performance Characteristics
The curves presented in this dat a sheet define modem IC per forman ce under a variety o f line condi tions
t ypical of t hose encountered over the Publi c Switched Telep hone Net w or k.
8.1 BER versus SNR
Thi s t est represent s the ab ility of the mod em to operate over noisy lines with a mi nimum amount of dat a
transfer erro rs. Since som e noise i s generated in the best di al up l ines, the modem must operate with the
lowest si gnal t o noi se ratio (SN R) possible.
B etter modem per formance i s indi cat ed by test cu r ves that are closest to t he BER axis. A narrow spread
bet we en curves r epr esent ing t he four l i ne par amet er s indi cat es min i mal variation i n per formance wh ile
operating ove r a r ange of typ i cal operati ng conditions. A DPSK or QAM modem will exh ibit bet ter BER
performance test curves rec eiving in the low band (answer mode) than in the high band (originate mode).
8.2 BER versus Receive Level
Thi s t est measures the dyn amic r ange of the modem. Beca use signal levels vary widely o ver dial up
lines, th e widest possible dynamic range is desirable. Th e SN R is hel d constant at t he i ndi cated valu es
as the recei ve level is lowe r ed from a ver y high to a ver y low si gnal l evel. Th e width of the bowl of these
cur ves, take n at the BE R br eak points i s the measur e of the dyn amic r ange.
