High-speed paging systems that employ M-ary signals are about to enter service.

Sony strongly supports this new service with three IF ICs: the CXA3117N, the CXA3176N, and the CXA3179N.

The CXA3117N, which adopts a comparator system that does not require an A/D converter, and the CXA3179N, which supports AFC, can contribute significantly to parts count reductions and thus reduced production costs.

The CXA3176N implements a high-speed paging system that uses an A/D converter and supports AFC.
