OVERVIEW

The SM8212B is a POCSAG-standard (Post Office Code Standardization Advisory Group) signal processor LSI, which conforms to CCIR recommendation 584 concerning standard international wireless calling codes.

The SM8212B supports call messages in either tone, numerical or character outputs at signal speeds of 512, 1200 or 2400 bps. The signal input stage features a built-in filter.
