Pin Descriptions for a Parallel SocketModem Device
Pin # Signal I/O Description
1
Tip
I/O
Tip Signal from Telco. Tip connection to the phone line (RJ-11 Pin 4). The SocketModem is
Tip/Ring polarity insensitive.
2
Ring
I/O
Ring Signal from Telco. Ring connection to the phone line (RJ-11 Pin 3). The SocketModem is
Tip/Ring polarity insensitive.
24
–RESET
I
Device Reset (with pull-up). The active low –RESET input resets the device logic and returns
the configuration of the device to the original factory default values or "stored values" in the
NVRAM.
–RESET is tied to VCC through a time-constant circuit for “Power-on-Reset” functionality. The
SocketModem is ready to accept commands after a fixed amount of time (“X” Time) after power-
on or reset.
Model Time Constant "X" Time Minimum Reset Pulse*
MT9234SMI 400 ms 6 seconds 100us
*The SocketModem device may respond to a shorter reset pulse.
Modem Reset (with weak pull-up). The active low –RESET input resets the SocketModem
logic and returns the AT command set to the original factory default values or to "stored values"
in NVRAM. The modem is ready to accept commands within 6.5 seconds of power-on or reset.
Reset must be asserted for a minimum of 300 ns.
25
A0 I
Host Bus Address Line 0. During a host read or write operation, A0 selects an internal 16C450
or 16C550-compatible register. The state of the divisor latch access bit (DLAB) affects the
selection of certain registers.
26
DGND
GND
Digital Ground
30
INT
O
Host Bus Interrupt. INT output is set high when the receiver error flag, receiver data available,
transmitter holding register empty, or modem status interrupt have an active high condition. INT
is reset low upon the appropriate interrupt service or master reset operation.
31
A1 I
Host Bus Address Line 1. During a host read or write operation, A1 selects an internal 16C450
or 16C550-compatible register. The state of the divisor latch access bit (DLAB) affects the
selection of certain registers.
32
–WR
I
Host Bus Write. –WR is an active low, write control input. When –DS is low, –WR low allows
the host to write data or control words into a selected modem register.
33
–RD
I
Host Bus Read. –RD is an active low, read control input. When –DS is low, –RD low allows the
host to read status information or data from a selected modem register.
34
A2
I
Host Bus Address Line 2. During a host read or write operation, A2 selects an internal 16C450
or 16C550-compatible register. The state of the divisor latch access bit (DLAB) affects the
selection of certain registers.
40
–DS
I
Host Bus Device Select. –DS input low enables the modem for read or write.
61
VCC
PWR
+5V or 3.3V Supply (depends upon model).
63
AGND GND
Analog Ground.
This is tied common with DGND on the SocketModem. To minimize potential
ground noise issues, connect audio circuit return to AGND.
64
SPKR
O
Speaker. Dual purpose output for call progress signals or speakerphone functions.
Call Progress on the MT9234SMI is an analog output.
