Marine AIS Search and Rescue Transmitter (SART) Processor

CML Microcircuits has announced the launch of the new cutting-edge Marine AIS Search and Rescue Transmitter (SART) processor, the CMX7045.

An AIS-SART is a self-contained radio transmitter that is deployed by a survival craft or distressed vessel to notify its position for the purpose of rescue. In a rescue situation the device repeatedly transmits its updated position reports using a standard Automatic Identification System (AIS). Position and time synchronisation is derived from an onboard GNSS receiver (e.g. GPS). Every minute the unit transmits multiple position reports to maintain a high probability that at least one of the position reports is sent on the highest point of a wave, guiding rescue services accurately to its location.

The CMX7045 is a highly integrated and flexible baseband processor fulfilling the needs of an AIS-SART and meeting IEC 61097-14 requirements. In addition to providing the core AIS-SART formatted data functionality, the CMX7045 incorporates a number of auxiliary operations that assist in the overall system implementation and therefore reduce component count and cost.


CMX7045 AIS-SART Processor IC:
•    9600 baud GMSK modulator
•    AIS-SART formatted data
•    Very low power sleep modes
•    PA Ramp automation
•    Four DAC outputs
•    Multiplexed two-input ADC
•    System PLL clocks
•    Small 48-pin VQFN/LQFP packages
•    IEC 61097-14 compliant
