CMX969 Advance Information
4.5.2.3 Control Register B4: ALTCRC - Alternative CRC
This bit should always be set to ‘0’ for standard RD-LAP and MDC systems. Setting it to ‘1’ in RD-LAP mode
selects an alternative CRC generation/checking algorithm.
4.5.2.4 Control Register B3: ALTFILT - Alternative Filtering
This bit should always be set to ‘0’ for standard RD-LAP and MDC systems. Setting it to ‘1’ in RD-LAP mode
selects slightly different transmit and receive lowpass filter characteristics more suitable for some non-
standard systems.
4.5.2.5 Control Register B2: MDC - MDC Mode
If this bit is ‘0’ the CMX969 operates in RD-LAP mode, setting this bit to ‘1’ selects MDC mode. Changing
between RD-LAP and MDC modes will cancel any current task.
4.5.2.6 Control Register B1: FSTOL - Frame Sync Detect Tolerance
In RD-LAP mode, this bit affects the number of errors tolerated by the Frame Sync detector. The allowable
errors are approximately 3 bits when FSTOL = 0, 7 bits when FSTOL = 1. In MDC mode, this bit has no effect
and the Frame Sync detector will accept up to 5 incorrect bits in a received Frame Sync pattern.
4.5.2.7 Control Register B0: HOLD - Freeze Rx Level and Timing Corrections
Setting this bit to 1 disables the receive level and symbol timing error correction circuits.
4.5.3 Mode Register
The contents of this 8-bit write only register control the basic operating modes of the modem:
Mode Register
765432 10
INVSYM
ZP
SSIEN SSYM
IRQEN
TX/RX
PSAVE
4.5.3.1 Mode Register B7: IRQEN - IRQ Output Enable
When this bit is set to '1', the IRQ chip output pin is pulled low (to VSS) whenever the IRQ bit of the Status
Register is a '1'.
4.5.3.2 Mode Register B6: INVSYM - Invert Symbols
This bit controls the polarity of the transmitted and received symbol voltages.

4.5.3.3 Mode Register B5: TX/RX - Tx/Rx Mode
Setting this bit to '1' puts the modem into Transmit mode, clearing it to '0' puts the modem into Receive mode.
Note that changing between receive and transmit modes will cancel any current task.
