DTMF signals cannot be detected if CP mode has
been selected (see Table 7). Figure 8 indicates the
useful detect bandwidth of the call progress filter.
Frequenc ies presented to the input, which are within
the ‘accept’ bandwidth limits of the filter, are hard-
limited by a high gain comparator with the IRQ/CP
pin serving as the output. The squarewave output
obtained from the schmitt trigger can be analyzed by
a microprocessor or counter arrangement to
determine the nature of the call progress tone being
detected. Frequencies which are in the ‘reject’ area
will not be detected and consequently the IRQ/CP
pin will remain low.
DTMF Generator
The DTMF transmitter employed in the MT88L85 is
capable of generating all sixteen standard DTMF
tone pairs with low distortion and high accuracy. All
frequencies are derived from an external 3.579545
MHz crystal. The sinusoidal waveforms for the
individual tones are digitally synthesized using row
and column programmable dividers and switched
capacitor D/ A converters. The row and column tones
are mixed and filtered providing a DTMF signal with
low total harmonic distortion and high accuracy. To
specify a DTMF signal, data conforming to the
encoding format shown in Table 1 must be written to
the transmit Data Register. Note that this is the
same as the receiver output code. The individual
tones which are generated (fLOW and fHIGH) are
ref erred to as Low Group and High Group tones. As
seen from the table, the low group frequencies are
697, 770, 852 and 941 Hz. The high group
frequencies are 1209, 1336, 1477 and 1633 Hz.
Typically, the high group to low group amplitude ratio
(twist) is 2 dB to com-pensate for high group
attenuation on long loops.
