M•CORE Processor with On-Chip FLEX™ Decoder For Messaging Applications

By David Ruimy Gonzales
Senior Member of Technical Staff
M•CORE Technology Center

Pagers have become quite popular in the last 10 years and have led to the introduction of a variety of new portable applications which communicate digital messages to central base stations that dispatch the information to one or more locations. Using a de-facto industry standard for communicating messages, new products are emerging such as automatic utility meter readers, smart vending machines which report inventory or service requests, and automobile security systems which can disable the engine and/or report where the automobile is.

Applications may be remotely situated and require efficient power management. The focus of this paper is to provide a general overview of the Motorola FLEX™ One-Way paging protocol and describe a low power micro-RISC processor based on an M•CORE architecture that implements a one-way FLEX decoder. A general discussion on the FLEX Stack One-Way Software protocol will be covered with emphasis on architectural requirements.
