Automati c mixed redialing (last number redial) of pulse
to DTMF with multi ple automatic access pauses
PABX auto-pause is 2.2 seconds
DTMF Timing:
Manual dialing: minimum duration for bursts and

Redialing: calibr at ed ti ming
Hands-Free control function
General Description
NT91214/15 Series
Tone/Pulse Dialer
Wi de operating vol t age range: 2V to 5.5V
Key-in beep tone output
Digits dialed manually after redialing are cascadable
and stored as additional digits for the next redialing
Uses inexpensive ceramic resonator (3.58 MHz)
Two versions for different telephone systems
Built-in power up reset circuit
Four extra function keys: flash, pause, redial and DP
or
DTMF mixed dialing
4 x 4 (or 2 x 8) keyboard can be used
Low standby current
The NT91214/15 is a single-chip, silicon gate, CMOS
integrated circuit with an on-chip oscillator for a 3.58MHz
crystal or ceramic r esonator. It pr ovides a dialing pul se
(DP) or dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) dialing. A
standard 4 x 4 mat rix keyboard can be used to support
either DP or DTMF modes.
Up to 32 digits can be saved in the on-chip RAM for
redialing. In the DTMF mode, a short minimum tone
duration and minimum intertone pause allows rapid
dialing. Maximum tone duration depends on the key
depression time during manual dialing.
