The AIS system allows vessels and base stations to communicate their position and other data to each other without the need for a centralised controller. This allows vessels to “see” each other and take appropriate action to avoid collision and so improve marine safety. The system uses a GMSK 9600baud data link in the Marine VHF frequency band. The system requirements are defined in ITU-M 1371-1 standard. The CMX7032 and CMX7042 are specifically designed for use in AIS units utilising LimiterDiscriminator RF architecture. Both are half duplex in operation, comprising two parallel LimiterDiscriminator Rx paths and one I and Q or two-point modulation Tx path and configurable for AIS or marine DSC operation. The device performs signal modulation/demodulation with associated AIS functions, such as training sequence detection, NRZI conversion and HDLC processing (flags, bit stuffing/de-stuffing, CRC generate/check). Combined with the integrated Tx/Rx data buffers, the overall host µC processing requirements are greatly reduced. Auxiliary ADCs and DACs functions are provided to further simplify the system hardware design, therefore, reducing the overall equipment size and cost. The CMX7032 and CMX7042 have identical core functionality. The CMX7032 provides maximum integration with the inclusion of two auxiliary RF synthesisers on chip. The CMX7042, without RF synthesisers, offers maximum RF system flexibility and the smallest foot-print package. These devices utilise CML’s proprietary FirmASIC ® component technology. On-chip sub-systems are configured by a Function Image™: this is a data file that is uploaded during device initialisation and configures the device's function and feature set. The Function Image™ can be loaded automatically from an optional external EEPROM or from a host µController over the built-in C-BUS serial interface. The device's functions and features can be enhanced by subsequent Function Image™ releases, facilitating in-the-field upgrades. The CMX910 (AIS class A and AIS class B processor) is also available from CML for designers preferring an I and Q modulation approach to RF design.

Transaction oriented command/response logical host interface executes tasks supporting normal operation, device configuration, and functions to assist manufacturing calibration trimming of external circuits. Internal system clock derived from RF synthesizer reference oscillator and eliminates the need for additional XTAL or baseband clock oscillator. Two user programmable auxiliary clock synthesisers generate clocks for external system use and eliminate the need of multiple external clock sources. User selected method for loading a Function Image™ - either from the host µC via C-BUS or from an optional external serial EEPROM. Integrated regulator supplies all internal voltages from a single 3.3V regulated supply. Powersave facilities minimize total system power. • • • • • AIS system formats The AIS system uses two basic channel access mechanisms – Self Organising Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) and Carrier-Sensing Time Division Multiple Access (CSTDMA). The CMX7032 is compatible with both systems and offers additional features, which simplify the implementation of CSTDMA. The SOTDMA system is detailed in ITU-M 1371-1 and IEC 61993-2 while the CSTDMA is detailed in IEC 62287. The CSTDMA system is used in the implementation of the Class B AIS. This requires the Receiver to monitor the first part of a slot for an existing AIS transmission from another station before deciding to use the slot for its own transmission or aborting and selecting a different slot. The SOTDMA system is used in the Class A and Base Station AIS as well as the Class B-SOTDMA AIS standard.
