The MX629 is a Continuously Variable Slope Delta Modulation (CVSD) Codec designed for use in military
communications systems. This device is suitable for applications in military delta multiplexers, switches, and
phones. The MX629 is designed to meet Mil-Std-188-113 specifications.
Encoder input and decoder output filters are incorporated on-chip. Sampling clock rates can be programmed
to 16, 32, or 64kbps from an internal clock generator or externally injected in the 8 to 64kbps range. The
sampling clock frequency is output for the synchronization of external circuits.
The encoder has an enable function for use in multiplexer applications. Encoder and Decoder forced idle
capabilities are provided forcing 10101010…pattern in encode and a VDD/2 bias in decode. The companding
circuit may be operated with an externally selectable 3- or 4-bit algorithm. The device may be placed in
standby mode by selecting Powersave. A reference 1.024MHz oscillator uses an external clock or crystal.
The MX629 operates with a supply voltage of 5.0V and is available in the following packages: 24-pin PLCC
(MX629LH), 22-pin CERDIP (MX629J), and 22-pin PDIP (MX629P).

5 Application
Due to the very low levels of a signal idle channel noise specified for military applications, a noisy or badly
regulated power supply could cause instability, putting the overall system performance out of specification.
Adherence to the points listed below will assist in minimizing this problem.
1. Care should be taken in the design and layout of the printed circuit board.
2. All external components (as recommended in Figure 2) should be kept close to the package.
3. Tracks should be kept short, particularly the Encoder Input capacitor and the VBIAS capacitor.
4. Xtal/Clock tracks should be kept well away from analog inputs and outputs.
5. Inputs and outputs should be screened whenever possible.
6. A ‘ground plane’ connected to VSS will assist in eliminating external pick-up on the input and output pins.
7. It is recommended that the power supply rails have less that 1mVRMS of noise allowed.
8. The source impedance to the Encoder Input pin must be less that 100W; output idle channel, noise levels
will improve with even power source impedances.
