MFC1000
Device Set
The Conexant™ MFC1000 Device Set hardware consists of the Conexant
MFC1000 Controller and a Conexant MONOFAX Modem device. This
device set, along with the supporting firmware and evaluation system,
comprises a complete Multifunctional Peripheral system–needing only a
power supply, scanner, and printer mechanism components to complete the
machine. The models available are listed in Table 1. A system-level block
diagram using the MFC1000 Engine is shown in Figure 1.
Integrated MFC1000 Controller
The Integrated MFC1000 controller provides the majority of the electronics
necessary to build a plain paper based MFP integrated into a one-chip
solution. An ARM7 CPU, 1284 parallel port interface, Flash memory/DRAM
controller, resolution conversion, inkjet data formatter, and external inkjet or
laser printing interface allows full printer functionality. In addition, the
controller performs primary facsimile control/monitoring and
compression/decompression functions, interfacing with major fax machine
components like the scanner, modem, motors, and operator control panel.
The ARM7TDMI embedded processor provides an external 48 MB direct
memory accessing capability. An integrated Pipeline ADC combined with
®
Rockwell Image Processing Scheme (RIPS ), provides state of the art
image processing performance on both text and half-tone images.
The MFC1000 Engine provides the hardware and software necessary to
develop a Multifunctional Peripheral including architecture for printing,
faxing, scanning, and copying. It also supports many of these operations
occurring simultaneously.

MONOFAX Modems
Several MONOFAX modems are available for use with the MFC1000
controller. Each is dependent on the communication applications desired.
The FM209 and FM214 modems support V.29 and V.17 facsimile
transmission and reception respectively. These modems also support
integrated digital answering machine functions by including a voice codec
that yields up to 24 minutes of voice storage per 4 Mbits of memory. These
modems also optionally support full-duplex speakerphone features for hand-
free applications using an external Integrated Analog (IA) device. The
FM336 modem supports Group 3 facsimile send and receive speeds up to
33600 bps using V.34 half-duplex mode.
