The KT3170 is a complete Dual Tone Multiple Frequency
(DTMF) receiver that is fabricated by low power CMOS
and the Switched-Capacitor Filter technology.
This LSI consists of band split filters, which seperates
counting section which verifies the frequency and
duration of the received tones before passing the corresponding code to the output bus. It decodes all 16
DTMF tone pairs into a 4bits digital code.
The externally required components are minimized by
on chip provision of a differential input AMP, clock
oscillator and latched three state interface. The on chip
clock generator requires only a low cost TV cystal as
an external component.
FEATURES
• Detects all 16 standard tones.
• Low power consumption : 15mW (Typ)
• Single power supply : 5V
• Uses inexpensive 3.58MHz crystal
• Three state outputs for microprocessor interface
• Good quality and performance for using in
exchange system

Gain Select. The output used for gain adjustment of analog input
signal with a feedback resistor.
Reference Voltage output (VDD/2, Typ) can be used to bias the op amp
input of VDD/2.
Input inhibit. High input states inhibits the detection of tones. This
pin is pulled down internally.
Control input for the stand-by power down mode. Power down occurs
when the signal on this input is in high states. This pin is pulled down
internally.
Clock input/output. A inexpensive 3.579545MHz crystal connected
between these pins completes internal oscillator. Also, external clock
can be used.
Output Enable input. Outputs Q1-Q4 are CMOS push pull when OE is
High and open circuited (High impedance) when disabled by pulling OE
low. Internal pull up resistor built in.
Three state data output. When enabled by OE, these digital outputs
provide the hexadecimal code corresponding to the last valid tone
pair received.
Delayed Steering Output. Indicates that valid frequencies have been
present for the required guard time, thus constituting a valid signal.
Presents a logic high when a received tone pair has been registered
and the output latch is updated. Returns to logic low when the
voltage on SI/GTO falls below VTH.
Early Steering Outputs. Indicates detection of valid tone output a
logic high immediately when the digital algorithm detects a
recognizable tone pair. Any momentary loss of signal condition will
cause ESO to return to low.
Steering Input/Guard Time Output. A voltage greater the V
TS
detected at SI causes the device to register the detected tone pair
and update the output latch. A voltage less than VTS frees the device
to accept a new tone pair. The GTO output acts to reset the external
steering time constant, and its state is a function of ESO and the
voltage on SI
