73M2901/5V
Advanced Single
Chip Modem

FIRMWARE DESCRIPTION
2
An “AT” command interpreter provides command
and configuration of the 73M2901/5V. This provides
the user a uniform interface to control the modem in
embedded applications.
The signal processing is performed by obtaining
data from and providing data to the integrated A/D
converter. A MAC hardware processor is provided
for computation.
To provide maximum flexibility, the system host
processor can access the internal RAM and Control
Register space in the modem. This will allow the
OEM user to modify parameters such as filter
response, transmit levels through the AT command
set using proprietary commands. The host
processor can also access the modem I/O port pins,
providing extended I/O capability.
FIRMWARE REQUIREMENTS
The modem always powers up in the idle (on hook)
mode. “AT” commands are issued via the serial
interface from the host. All modem configuration
commands are received in this manner. The data
modem firmware is contained in an internal ROM.
The firmware will automatically enter a power saving
idle mode if the modem is on hook and there are no
incoming host commands. The modem
automatically powers up upon receiving the next
command. This power up sequence occurs without
delay to the host. This function, while saving power,
is transparent to the host processor and can be
disabled by the host via an “AT” command. The
host can also program the modem to power down
via external pin (
DTR
) or via a firmware command.
