The 78A207 is a single-chip, Multi-Frequency (MF)
receiver that can detect all 15 tone-pairs, including
ST and KP framing tones. This receiver is intended
for use in equal access applications and thus meets
both Bell and CCITT R1 central office register
signaling specifications.
The 78A207 employs state-of-the-art switched
capacitor filters in CMOS technology. The receiver
consists of a bank of channel-separation bandpass
filters followed by zero-crossing detectors and
frequency-measurement bandpass filters, an
amplitude check circuit, a timer and decoder circuit,
and a clock generator. The device does not attempt
to identify strings of digits by the KP (key pulse) and
ST (stop) tone pairs.
No anti-alias filtering is needed if the input signal is
band-limited to 26 KHz. The only external
component required is an inexpensive television
“color burst” 3.58 MHz crystal.
The outputs interface directly with standard CMOS
or TTL circuitry and are three-state enabled to
facilitate bus-oriented architecture.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
VIN
This pin accepts the analog input. It is internally
biased to half the supply and is capacitively coupled
to the channel separation filters. The input may be
DC coupled as long as it does not exceed VDD or
drop below GND. Equivalent input circuit is shown
below in Figure 1.
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR
The 78A207 contains an on-board inverter with
sufficient gain to provide oscillation when connected
to a low cost television “color-burst” crystal. The onchip clock signals are generated from the oscillator.
The crystal is connected between X1 and X2.
XOUT is a 3.58 MHz square wave capable of driving
other circuits as long as the capacitive load does not
exceed 50 pF. Other devices driven by XOUT
should use X1 as the input pin, while X2 should be
left floating.
LKP
The KP timer control: When high, the KP detect time
is increased. When low, the KP detect time is the
same as for other tones.
QUAL
Enables tone pair qualification. When low, the
threshold detector outputs are passed to the data
outputs (D0-D5) without validation in the format
selected by the HEX pin. These outputs, plus
strobes DV and DE, are updated once per 2.3 ms
frame. Note that the strobes will cycle once per
frame (even when the inputs are stable.) As always,
data changes only when both strobes are low.
CSTR
CSTR
This input clears both the DV and DE strobes, and is
active low. After CSTR is released, the strobes will
remain low until a new detect (or error) occurs. The
output data is latched by CSTR and will not change
while CSTR is low, even in the event that a new
detect is qualified internally. (Note that improper use
of CSTR may result in missed detects.)
EN
The three-state enable control: When low, the D0D5 outputs are in the low impedance state. In an
interrupt oriented microprocessor interface, EN and
CSTR will often be tied together to provide
automatic reset of the strobes when the output data
is enabled.
STROBE PINS - DV AND DE
Valid data is indicated on the DV strobe pin, and
data errors are indicated on the DE strobe pin.
Whenever a valid 2 of 6 code has been detected,
the DV strobe rises. It remains high until the code
goes away, or the CSTR line is activated. When an
invalid code is detected, e.g., 1 of 6, 3 of 6, etc., the
DE strobe remains high until all errors stop, a valid
tone pair is detected, or the CSTR line is activated.
Once cleared by CSTR, DE will not reactivate until a
new invalid condition is detected. The DE and DV
strobes will never be high simultaneously.
DATA OUTPUT MODES
The digital output format may be either “n of 6” or 4bit hexadecimal.
For “hex” mode, the HEX pin is pulled high. Outputs
D0 to D3 provide a 4-bit code identifying one of the
15 valid tone combinations according to Table1.
The outputs will be cleared to zero when no valid
tone pair is present.
For the “n of 6” mode, the HEX pin is pulled low, and
each output represents one of the six frequencies as
shown below:
