Description
The M-991 is a call progress tone generator integrated
circuit for use in telephone systems. The circuit uses
low-power CMOS techniques to generate tones which
are digitally controlled and highly linear. The M-991 is
designed to permit operation with almost any system.
The use of integrated circuit techniques allows the M-
991 to incorporate the control, tone generating, and
power output buffer into a single 14-pin DIP or a 16-pin
SOIC. A 3.58-MHz (color burst) crystal-controlled time
base guarantees accuracy and repeatability.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings. Stresses in
excess of these ratings can cause permanent damage to
the device. Functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions beyond those indicated in the opera-
tional sections of this data sheet is not implied. Exposure of
the device to the absolute maximum ratings for an extend-
ed period may degrade the device and effect its reliability.
Note:
1. Exceeding these ratings may permanently damage the M-991.

M-991
Call Progress Tone Generation
Call progress tones are audible tones sent from
switching systems to calling parties (or equipment) to
indicate the status of calls. Calling parties can identify
the success of a placed call by what is heard after dial-
ing. The M-991 series utilizes a highly linear tone gen-
erator that produces the unique frequencies (singly or
in pairs) that are common to call progress signals.
Duration and frequency selection are digitally con-
trolled (see the Data/Tone Selection table below for
data settings for a particular tone output). A typical
control sequence for the M-991 is: (1) set data lines to
desired frequency selection, (2) wait for data lines to
settle, (3) drive the chip enable (CE) low, (4) maintain
CE low for desired tone duration (Note: data lines may
be changed after data hold time), and (4) return CE to

a logic high. (Commonly used call progress tones are
shown in the Data/Tone Selection table below.) In a
bus-oriented system, noise on the data lines may
propagate through the device and appear at the out-
put. To safeguard against this, use an external latch to
lock the data into the device. In addition, it is good
practice to bypass the V
REF
pin to ground with a small
capacitor (0.01 mF) to reduce power supply noise. The
designer should be aware of device timing require-
ments and design accordingly. The data input pins
may be tied high (+5 VDC) or low (ground) as required,
but D4 and D5 must be left open. Beware of hardwiring
the CE pin for dedicated tone generation. This input is
edge triggered. An RC network like that shown in the
Power-on Reset Circuit on Page 4 should be used to
momentarily reset the device immediately following
power-up to ensure proper operation.
