Description
The MT88L85 is a monolithic DTMF transceiver with
call progress filter. It is fabricated in CMOS technology
offering low power consumption and high reliability.
The receiver section is based upon the industry
standard MT8870 DTMF receiver. The transmitter
utilizes a switched capacitor D/A converter for low
distortion, high accuracy DTMF signalling. Internal
counters provide a burst mode such that tone bursts
can be transmitted with precise timing. A call progress
filter can be selected allowing a microprocessor to
analyze call progress tones.

Functional Description
The MT88L85 Integrated DTMF Transceiver consists of a high performance DTMF receiver with an internal gain
setting amplifier and a DTMF generator, which employs a burst counter to synthesize precise tone bursts and
pauses. A call progress mode can be selected so that frequencies within the specified passband can be detected.
The adaptive micro interface allows various microcontrollers to access the MT88L85 internal registers.
Power-Down
The MT88L85 provides enhanced power-down functionality to facilitate minimization of supply current
consumption. DTMF transmitter and receiver circuit blocks can be independently powered down via register
control. When asserted, the RxEN control bit powers down all analog and digital circuitry associated solely with the
DTMF and Call Progress receiver. The TOUT control bit is used to disable the transmitter and put all circuitry
associated only with the DTMF transmitter in power-down mode. With the TOUT control bit asserted, the TONE
output pin is held in a high impedance (floating) state. When both power-down control bits are asserted, circuits
utilized by both the DTMF transmitter and receiver are also powered down. This power-down control disables the
crystal oscillators, and the VRef generator. In addition, the IRQ, TONE output and DATA pins are held in a high
impedance state. Finally, the whole device is put in a power-down state when the PWDN pin is asserted.
Input Configuration
The input arrangement of the MT88L85 provides a differential-input operational amplifier as well as a bias source
(VRef), which is used to bias the inputs at VDD/2. Provision is made for connection of a feedback resistor to the op-
amp output (GS) for gain adjustment.
15 18 IRQ/CP Interrupt Request/Call Progress (open drain) output. In interrupt mode, this output goes
low when a valid DTMF tone burst has been transmitted or received. In call progress
mode, this pin will output a rectangular signal representative of the input signal applied at
the input op-amp. The input signal must be within the bandwidth limits of the call progress
filter. See Figure 10.
16 19 PWDN Power-down (input). Active High. Powers down the device and inhibits the oscillator.
IRQ and TONE output are high impedance. Data bus is held in tri-state. This pin has no
internal pulldown resistor. Therefore, must be tied to logic low when not used.

St causes the device to register the detected tone pair and update the output latch. A

reset the external steering time-constant; its state is a function of ESt and the voltage on
St.

For applications which are required to meet a guaranteed RX input level of -29 dBm over the full temperature and
supply voltage range, a unity gain input configuration as shown in Figures 3 and 4 can be used.
For applications which require signal detection lower than -29 dBm, the external resistors can be configured to give
adequate gain. For example, if the application requires tone detection of -31dB, the input gain can be set to
+2 dB with the external resistors (see Figures 13 and 14 for value of resistors). However, when +2 dB gain is used,
the corresponding maximum input signal level must not exceed -6 dBm.
Receiver Section
Separation of the low and high group tones is achieved by applying the DTMF signal to the inputs of two sixth-order
switched capacitor bandpass filters, the bandwidths of which correspond to the low and high group frequencies
(see Table 1). The filters also incorporate notches at 350 Hz and 440 Hz for exceptional dial tone rejection. Each
filter output is followed by a single order switched capacitor filter section, which smooths the signals prior to limiting.
Limiting is performed by high-gain comparators which are provided with hysteresis to prevent detection of
unwanted low-level signals. The outputs of the comparators provide full rail logic swings at the frequencies of the
incoming DTMF signals.

Table 1 - Functional Encode/Decode Table
Following the filter section is a decoder employing digital counting techniques to determine the frequencies of the
incoming tones and to verify that they correspond to standard DTMF frequencies. A complex averaging algorithm
protects against tone simulation by extraneous signals such as voice while providing tolerance to small frequency
deviations and variations. This averaging algorithm has been developed to ensure an optimum combination of
immunity to talk-off and tolerance to the presence of interfering frequencies (third tones) and noise. When the
detector recognizes the presence of two valid tones (this is referred to as the “signal condition” in some industry
specifications) the “Early Steering” (ESt) output will go to an active state. Any subsequent loss of signal condition
will cause ESt to assume an inactive state.
Steering Circuit
Before registration of a decoded tone pair, the receiver checks for a valid signal duration (referred to as character
recognition condition). This check is performed by an external RC time constant driven by ESt. A logic high on ESt
causes vc (see Figure 5) to rise as the capacitor discharges. Provided that the signal condition is maintained (ESt
remains high) for the validation period (tGTP), vc reaches the threshold (VTSt) of the steering logic to register the tone
pair, latching its corresponding 4-bit code (see Table 1) into the Receive Data Register. At this point the GT output is
activated and drives vc to VDD. GT continues to drive high as long as ESt remains high. Finally, after a short delay to
allow the output latch to settle, the delayed steering output flag goes high, signalling that a received tone pair has
been registered. The status of the delayed steering flag can be monitored by checking the appropriate bit in the
status register. If Interrupt mode has been selected, the IRQ/CP pin will pull low when the delayed steering flag is
active.
The contents of the output latch are updated on an active delayed steering transition. This data is presented to the
four bit bidirectional data bus when the Receive Data Register is read. The steering circuit works in reverse to
validate the interdigit pause between signals. Thus, as well as rejecting signals too short to be considered valid, the

receiver will tolerate signal interruptions (drop out) too short to be considered a valid pause. This facility, together
with the capability of selecting the steering time constants externally, allows the designer to tailor performance to
meet a wide variety of system requirements.
Figure 5 - Basic Steering Circuit
Guard Time Adjustment
The simple steering circuit shown in Figure 5 is adequate for most applications. Component values are chosen
according to the following inequalities (see Figure 7):
tREC tDPmax + tGT Pmax - tDAmin
tREC tDPmin + tGT Pmin - tDAmax
tID tDAmax + tGTA max - tDPmin
tDO tDAmin + tGTAmin - tDPmax
The value of tDP is a device parameter (see AC Electrical Characteristics) and tREC is the minimum signal duration
to be recognized by the receiver. A value for C1 of 0.1 µF is recommended for most applications, leaving R1
to be selected by the designer. Different steering arrangements may be used to select independent tone present
(tGTP) and tone absent (tGTA) guard times. This may be necessary to meet system specifications which place both
accept and reject limits on tone duration and interdigital pause. Guard time adjustment also allows the designer to
tailor system parameters such as talk-off and noise immunity.
Increasing tREC improves talk-off performance since it reduces the probability that tones simulated by speech will
maintain a valid signal condition long enough to be registered. Alternatively, a relatively short tREC with a long tDO
would be appropriate for extremely noisy environments where fast acquisition time and immunity to tone drop-outs
are required. Design information for guard time adjustment is shown in Figure 6. The receiver timing is shown in
Figure 7 with a description of the events in Figure 8.

Call Progress Filter
A call progress mode, using the MT88L85, can be selected to allow the detection of various tones, which identify
the progress of a telephone call on the network. The call progress tone input and DTMF input are common,
however, call progress tones can only be detected when CP mode has been selected. DTMF signals cannot be
detected if CP mode has been selected (see Table 7). Figure 10 indicates the useful detect bandwidth of the call
progress filter. Frequencies 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 square-wave 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 by using row and column programmable
dividers and switched capacitor D/A converters. The row and column tones are mixed and filtered to provide 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 Table 1 is the same as
the receiver output code. The individual tones which are generated (fLOW and fHIGH) are referred 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 compensate for high group attenuation on long loops.

Figure 9 - Call Progress Response
The period of each tone consists of 32 equal time segments. The period of a tone is controlled by varying the length
of these time segments. During write operations to the Transmit Data Register the 4 bit data on the bus is latched
and converted to 2 of 8 coding for use by the programmable divider circuitry. This code is used to specify a time
segment length, which will ultimately determine the frequency of the tone. When the divider reaches the appropriate
count, as determined by the input code, a reset pulse is issued and the counter starts again. The number of time
segments is fixed at 32, however, by varying the segment length as described above, the frequency can also be
varied. The divider output clocks another counter, which addresses the sinewave lookup ROM.
The lookup table contains codes which are used by the switched capacitor D/A converter to obtain discrete and
highly accurate DC voltage levels. Two identical circuits are employed to produce row and column tones, which
are then mixed by using a low noise summing amplifier. A bandwidth limiting filter is incorporated and serves to
attenuate distortion products above 8 kHz. Figure 9 shows that the distortion products are very low in amplitude.

Burst Mode
In certain telephony applications it is required that DTMF signals being generated are of a specific duration
determined either by the particular application or by any one of the exchange transmitter specifications currently
existing. Standard DTMF signal timing can be accomplished by making use of the Burst Mode. The transmitter is

capable of issuing symmetric bursts/pauses of predetermined duration. This burst/pause duration is 51 ms±1 ms
which is a standard interval for autodialer and central office applications. After the burst/pause has been issued, the
appropriate bit is set in the Status Register to indicate that the transmitter is ready for more data. The timing
described above is available when DTMF mode has been selected. However, when CP mode (Call Progress mode)
is selected, the burst/pause duration is doubled to 102 ms ±2 ms. Note that when CP mode and Burst mode have
been selected, DTMF tones may only be transmitted and not received. In applications where a non-standard
burst/pause time is desirable, a software timing loop or external timer can be used to provide the timing pulses
when the burst mode is disabled by enabling and disabling the transmitter.
Single Tone Generation
A single tone mode is available whereby individual tones from the low group or high group can be generated. This
mode can be used for DTMF test equipment applications, acknowledgment tone generation and distortion
measurements. Refer to Control Register B (CRB) description for details.
Table 2 - Actual Frequencies Versus Standard Requirements
Distortion Calculations
The MT88L85 is capable of producing precise tone bursts with minimal error in frequency (see Table 2). The
internal summing amplifier is followed by a first-order lowpass switched capacitor filter to minimize harmonic
components and intermodulation products. The total harmonic distortion for a single tone can be calculated by
using Equation 1, which is the ratio of the total power of all the extraneous frequencies to the power of the
fundamental frequency expressed as a percentage.
Equation 1. THD (%) For a Single Tone
The Fourier components of the tone output correspond to V2f.... Vnf as measured on the output waveform. The total
harmonic distortion for a dual tone can be calculated by using Equation 2. VL and VH correspond to the low group
amplitude and high group amplitude, respectively and V2IMD is the sum of all the intermodulation components. The
internal switched-capacitor filter following the D/A converter keeps distortion products down to a very low level as
shown in Figure 9.

Differentiates between multiplexed and non-multiplexed microprocessor buses. Address and data are
latched in accordingly.
Figure 17 shows the timing diagram for the Motorola microcontrollers. The chip select (CS) input is formed by
NANDing address strobe (AS) and address decode output. The MT88L85 examines the state of DS/RD on the
falling edge of CS. For Motorola bus timing DS/RD must be low on the falling edge of CS. Figure 12(a) shows the
connection of the MC68L11/MC68B11 Motorola processor to the MT88L85 DTMF transceiver.
Figures 18 and 19 are the timing diagrams for the Intel 8xL5x series (12 MHz) micro-controllers with multiplexed
address and data buses. The MT88L85 latches in the state of DS/RD on the falling edge of CS. When DS/RD is
high, Intel processor operation is selected. By NANDing the address latch enable (ALE) output with the high-byte
address (P2) decode output, CS can be generated. Figure 12(b) shows the connection of these Intel processors to
the MT88L85 transceiver.

NOTE: The adaptive micro interface relies on high-to-low transition on CS to recognize the microcontroller
interface. This pin must not be tied permanently low. Only one register access is allowed on any CS assertion.
The adaptive micro interface provides access to five internal registers. The read-only Receive Data Register
contains the decoded output of the last valid DTMF digit received. Data entered into the write-only Transmit Data
Register will determine which tone pair is to be generated (see Table 1 for coding details). Transceiver control is
accomplished with two control registers (see Tables 6 and 7), CRA and CRB, which have the same address. A write
operation to CRB is executed by first setting the most significant bit (b3) in CRA. The following write operation to the
same address will then be directed to CRB, and subsequent write cycles will be directed back to CRA. The read-
only status register indicates the current transceiver state (see Table 8).
A software reset must be included at the beginning of all programs to initialize the control registers upon power-up
or power reset (see Figure 15). Refer to Tables 4-7 for bit descriptions of the two control registers.
The multiplexed IRQ/CP pin can be programmed to generate an interrupt upon validation of DTMF signals or when
the transmitter is ready for more data (burst mode only). Alternatively, this pin can be configured to provide a
square-wave output of the call progress signal. The IRQ/CP pin is an open drain output and requires an external
pull-up resistor (see Figure 13 and Figure 14).

BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
b0 TOUT Tone Output Control. A logic high enables the tone output; a logic low puts the DTMF
transmitter in power-down mode. The TONE output pin is held in high impedance and the
transmit register is cleared. See Note 1 below.
b1 CP/DTMF Call Progress or DTMF Mode Select. A logic high enables the receive call progress mode;
a logic low enables DTMF mode. In DTMF mode the device is capable of receiving and
transmitting DTMF signals. In CP mode a rectangular wave representation of the received
tone signal will be present on the IRQ/CP output pin if IRQ has been enabled (Control
Register A, b2=1). In order to be detected, CP signals must be within the bandwidth
specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics for Call Progress.
Note: DTMF signals cannot be detected when CP mode is selected.
b2 IRQ Interrupt Enable. A logic high enables the interrupt function; a logic low de-activates the
interrupt function. When IRQ is enabled and DTMF mode is selected (Control Register A,
b1=0), the IRQ/CP output pin will go low when either 1) a valid DTMF signal has been
received for a valid guard time duration, or 2) the transmitter is ready for more data (burst
mode only).
b3 RSEL Register Select. A logic high selects Control Register B for the next write cycle to the
control register address. After writing to Control Register B, the following control register
write cycle will be directed to Control Register A.

Table 7 - Control Register B Description
Note 1: When both TOUT and RxEN are asserted to power-down, the crystal oscillator and the Vref circuits are powered down.
Table 8 - Status Register Description
BIT NAME DESCRIPTION
b0 BURST Burst Mode Select. A logic high de-activates burst mode; a logic low enables burst mode.
When activated, the digital code representing a DTMF signal (see Table 1) can be written
to the transmit register, which will result in a transmit DTMF tone burst and pause of equal
durations (typically 51 msec). Following the pause, the status register will be updated (b1 -
Transmit Data Register Empty), and an interrupt will occur if the interrupt mode has been
enabled.
When CP mode (Control Register A, b1) is enabled the normal tone burst and pause
durations are extended from a typical duration of 51 msec to 102 msec.
When BURST is high (de-activated) the transmit tone burst duration is determined by the
TOUT bit (Control Register A, b0).
b1 RxEN This bit enables the DTMF and Call Progress Tone receivers. A logic low enables both
circuits. A logic high deactivates and puts both receiver circuits into power-down mode.
See Note 1 below.
b2 S/D Single or Dual Tone Generation. A logic high selects the single tone output; a logic low
selects the dual tone (DTMF) output. The single tone generation function requires further
selection of either the row or column tones (low or high group) through the C/R bit (Control
Register B, b3).
b3 C/R Column or Row Tone Select. A logic high selects a column tone output; a logic low selects
a row tone output. This function is used in conjunction with the S/D bit (Control Register B,
b2).
