The MX102 is a single-chip device to extract single periodic signals from very high random-noise environments.

Using patented autocorrelation techniques the MX102 will enhance the input signal's signal-to-noise ratio by as much as

8.5dB and provide a digital output signal centered at four times (x4) the input frequency.

The amplitude of non-periodic components of the signal is substantially reduced. The patented autocorrelator compares

the incoming signal to itself; the more elements of the waveform that are seen as periodic, the higher the energy at the

microcircuit output.

The MX102 cascades two autocorrelators, each one improving the signal-to-noise ratio

With a random noise input the output will swing rail-to-rail at random (peak-limited). The input/output signal delay is fixed

by the choice of clock frequency and the length of the internal register. The MX102 will operate at supply voltages of

between 2.5 volts and 5.5 volts and with Xtal/clock frequencies from 20kHz to 2.5MHz. Using various Xtal/clock inputs the

device can be set to accept input signal frequencies, in bands, from 17.0Hz to 13.0kHz.

Two uncommitted clock outputs are available: one to supply a 'divided-down' Xtal/clock frequencies  and the second is a

buffered output for use in external and peripheral functions.

This MX102 is available in the following package styles: 16-pin SOIC (MX102DW) and 16-pin CDIP (MX102J).

The inverting input to the analog amplifier/comparator. Used with the

Signal Bias pin; external coupling components are required.

See Figure 2

output

The output of the analogue amplifier/comparator. Do not load this pin with

peripheral circuitry; there is no drive capacity for off-chip signaling. The

feedback resistor should be not less than 200k

. See Figure 2.

DD

power

Positive supply rail. A single, stable power supply is required. Note that

this device has two V

DD

 pins; this input is positioned to prevent cross-talk,

either or both may be connected to the host circuit's supply line. Do not

attempt to draw current from either V

DD

 pin.

Buffered inverter oscillator digital output.  May be used as test point to

align clock frequency or to drive other circuitry.

XTAL

The output of the on-chip clock oscillator inverter.

8

Xtal/Clock

input

The input to the on-chip clock oscillator inverter; this may be a Xtal,

resonator or clock pulse input. The selection of this frequency will affect

the operational input signal bandwidth (and output frequency) of this

device; refer to Table 4. Note that the choice of V

DD

 will determine the

maximum Xtal/clock frequency and hence the maximum useable signal

input frequency. Operation of this microcircuit without an active Xtal or

clock input may cause device damage. A clock pulse input is fed directly

into this pin;  Xtal/clock components are not required.

See Table 2.
