Brief Description
The Rx sub-audio (CTCSS) path contains a
The FX365C is a 3-volt, half-duplex predictive
Continuous Tone Controlled Squelch System
(CTCSS) encoder/decoder microcircuit. The FX365C
has integral voice-band filtering for prefiltering of Tx
audio and the rejection of the CTCSS tone in receive.
Under µProcessor control, the FX365C will encode
and decode any one of 39 sub-audio frequencies
(+NOTONE) in the range 67.0Hz to 250.3Hz. Tone
frequencies and all functional commands can be
loaded to the device in either pin-selectable 8-bit
parallel or serial format.
(selected tone frequency) bandpass filter and period
detector providing a logic level output (Rx Tone
Detect) to indicate a successful decode operation.
Rx “Press to Listen” (PTL) and Tx “Squelch-Tail
Elimination” functions are available in both command
loading modes. The squelch-tail elimination function
will provide (Tx tone) phase-reversal to minimise the
annoying audio outputs that occur at the receiver on
completion of a transmission.
Tone frequencies and filter accuracies are
maintained by an on-chip 1.0MHz clock oscillator
employing an external crystal or clock pulse input.
The FX365C, which exhibits high audio and sub-
audio performance with low falsing, is available in 24-
pin DIL and small outline SMD packages.
A separate, Rx/Tx voice-audio path is available with
a highpass (sub-audio reject) filter automatically
placed in the relevant Rx or Tx voice line.
