The receiver section is based upon the industry
standard MT8870 DTMF receiver while 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.
The MT8889C utilizes an adaptive micro interface,
which allows the device to be connected to a number
of popular microcontrollers with minimal external
logic. The MT8889C-1 is functionally identical to the
MT8889C except the receiver is enhanced to accept
lower level signals, and also has a specified low
signal rejection level.

Functional Description
MT8889C/MT8889C-1
The MT8889C/MT8889C-1 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 microcontrollers,
such as the 68HC11, 80C51 and TMS370C50, to
access the MT8889C/MT8889C-1 internal registers.
Input Configuration
The input arrangement of the MT8889C/MT8889C-1
provides a differential-input operational amplifier as
well as a bias source (V
inputs at V
/2. Provision is made for connection of
DD
a feedback resistor to the op-amp output (GS) for
gain adjustment. In a single-ended configuration, the
input pins are connected as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 4 shows the necessary connections for a
differential input configuration.
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.
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 v
rise as the capacitor discharges. Provided that the
signal condition is maintained (ESt remains high) for
the validation period (t
(V
) of the steering logic to register the tone pair,
TSt
), vc reaches the threshold
GTP
latching its corresponding 4-bit code (see Table 1)
into the Receive D ata Regist er. At thi s point the GT
output is activated and drives v
continues to drive high as long as ESt remains high.
Finally, after a short de lay to a ll ow th e o ut put 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 f l ag is activ e.
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.

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 t
improves talk-off performance since
REC
it reduces the probability that tones simulated by
speech will maintain a valid signal condition long
enough to be registered. Alternatively, a relatively
short t
with a long tDO would be appropriate for
REC
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 9.
Call Progress Filter
A call progress mode, using the MT8889C/
MT8889C-1, can be selected allowing 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 8 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 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

DTMF Generator
The DTMF transmitter employed in the MT8889C/
MT8889C-1 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 (f
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.
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
LOW
and f
) are referred to as Low
HIGH
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 using a low
noise summing amplifier. The oscillator described
needs no “start-up” time as in other DTMF
generators since the crystal oscillator is running
continuously thus providing a high degree of tone
burst accuracy. A bandwidth limiting filter is
incorporated and serves to attenuate distortion
products above 8 kHz. It can be seen from Figure 6
that the distortion products are very low in amplitude.
