The CMX218 is an ISDN data and telephony protocol engine which implements the lower level ISDN interface
and communicates with the CMX605 and other standard devices to form a fully integrated ISDN chipset for
both voice and data communications. The CMX218 puts all the main data processing elements in a single
device. No ISDN software has to be written and simple ‘Plug and Play’ design results. This reduces
development time and provides a highly cost-effective hardware solution. By using proven circuit designs, the
designer can move quickly from initial concept through design in to manufacture.

The CMX218 supports one voice port over the ISDN Line, which can be used to provide ISDN telephony
services or a POTS line interface, and a single data channel, capable of operation at 115,200 bps. The
CMX218 features a full set of ‘Hayes’ compatible AT command codes on its asynchronous data interface, in
addition to providing keypad-configurable voice telephony services. The CMX218’s feature set and
architecture allow most analog systems to be converted to an ISDN equivalent with enhanced features.

The CMX218 is designed to work with the AMD 79C30 S/T bus interface, the Siemens PSB-21525 HDLC
formatter and the MX-COM CMX605 POTS interface circuit, and also comes complete with embedded
applications software. To support the CMX218, MX-COM can also provide licensed reference designs on
user request. A flexible Applications Program Interface (API) allows users to customize the features and
operation of their own design. The CMX218 is available in an 80-pin QFP (CMX218S1) package.

1

The CMX218 is a data processor integrated circuit that supports the protocol layers 1, 2 and 3 of the ISDN protocol stack in accordance
with the specifications of CCITT (now ITU). These specifications, which are widely used around the world, might not be supported within
the U.S.

ISDN Data and Telephony Protocol Engine (no X.25) 8 CMX218 Advance Information

4. General Description

The CMX218 is a single-chip data processor that has been mask programmed with firmware to implement an
ISDN protocol stack. This enables the CMX218 to interface an analog (POTS) port and a digital (RS232) port
to an ISDN S-bus network connection. Key variables are stored in an external EEPROM and the user can
provide additional features by adding external ROM and RAM. Access to the firmware Application
Programmer's Interface (API) facilitates the seamless integration of the user's additional features with the pre­programmed ISDN to POTS and RS232 interfaces.

The CMX218 is intended for use as part of an ISDN chipset and all descriptions in this data sheet refer to this
implementation, which is shown diagrammatically in Figure 3. The use of alternative chipsets is not
supported.

The firmware supports connection to an ISDN S-bus
controller and the AMD AM79C30 ST controller with integral PCM codec for a single POTS port.

The CMX218 interfaces with a CMX605 Tone Generator and DTMF Receiver chip, which decodes incoming
DTMF tones and generates certain call progress signals (e.g. busy tone) normally originating from an analog
telephone exchange. The firmware translates the CMX605 data into ISDN D-channel commands and vice
versa to support both incoming and outgoing calls. For the ISDN interface, D-channel commands sufficient
for standard telephony applications are implemented. With the aid of a small amount of discrete circuitry,
exchange battery voltage, ringing current, line reversal and off-hook detection are also supported, to complete
the POTS interface.

The CMX218 also provides a data port that can drive a standard RS232 interface with the aid of a Maxim
MAX238, or similar, level converter. The firmware provides support for incoming and outgoing data calls,
RS232 auto-bauding from 9600bps to 115200bps, auto parity detection, RTS/CTS flow control, call clearing
on loss of DTR, V.120 rate adaption, PPP async to sync conversion and a comprehensive set of Hayes
commands (which facilitate the use of normal PC-based modem software). The CMX218 has dedicated
outputs for visible indicators (LEDs) that can be used to provide information on the call status. Support for
Multiple Subscriber Numbering is also included in the firmware.

The CMX218 can be configured either by means of keypad (DTMF) programming via the POTS port or by
means of an extended Hayes command set via the RS232 port. Configuration parameters allow the user to
change (for example) the format and cadence of the ringing signal, so as to facilitate use of the CMX218 in
different countries. Each POTS and RS232 interface is able to configure the variables relevant to its own use.

An Application Programmer's Interface (API) is available and is described separately in Section 4.8. Further
details are available on completion of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Please contact MX-COM directly for
further details.

The firmware and finite state machine embedded in the CMX218 have been used in products that have
gained ETSI CTR3 approval.
